Colorado earned that nickname after the passage of Amendment 2 banned anti-discrimination laws designed to protect the LGBTQ community. The new season of KUNC’s podcast The Colorado Dream looks at how Colorado went from approving Amendment 2 ... to electing the country’s first openly gay governor. KUNC’s Stephanie Daniel – who hosts the Colorado Dream podcast -- will discuss the new season on today’s In the NoCo.

The ACLU of Colorado filed the lawsuit in 2022 claiming Boulder's ban amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. The lawsuit wants to stop enforcement of the ban if shelter space is not available. John Herrick from the Boulder Reporting Lab joined KUNC's Michael Lyle, Jr. to get more on the story.

In a written filing Thursday, Trump's lawyers called on the court to reverse a first-of-its-kind Colorado Supreme Court decision that said Trump should not be on the state's Republican primary ballot because of his role in the events that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
