I think I've seen a lot of gay couples there, and a relatively racially diverse clientele, compared to the norm at least. At least one of the bartenders is openly gay (and married). I frequent a nice little vegan bar and restaurant, The Burrowing Owl, which is very libertarian. And if you're working with a military contractor here I would expect most of your coworkers to be white and conservative.īut in my personal experience, a significant portion of the "conservatives" here are more correctly described as libertarians, who are generally pretty tolerant, even if I disagree with them on most other stuff (as a liberal). We still have one of the most conservative congressmen in the country, Doug Lamborn, who is a real piece of shit. I've only lived here for a little over a year, but my understanding is that Colorado Springs is still very conservative, but the place is slowly getting more liberal. Pueblo is accepting of diversity racially, religiously, or otherwise. In my lifetime that's been one of the best parts of Pueblo. I've never seen it made into a big deal and I've always seen Puebloans to be very accepting.
Pirate's Cove (a bar) is a good way to get acquainted. Pueblo doesn't have a big gay scene, but there is a small group here in Pueblo. If elected he would be the first openly gay person elected to governorship nationally.Īnd finally, the University president in Pueblo is openly gay. The only governor candidate with an office in Pueblo is gay (Polis). One of our state representatives is openly lesbian (Denaya). Pueblo was one of the first counties to issue gay marriage licenses even while legally murky. If not Springs, there's /r/Pueblo although Pueblo has few black people, most people are brown or white.īut! There are many openly gay members of Pueblo's community.
