Officials in Colorado are facing scrutiny after being forced to publicly apologize for mistakenly honoring an anti-trans hate group by flying their flag over the state capitol.
The Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration (DPA) approved a flag request from Gays Against Groomers on October 1, unaware that they were designated a hate organization by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for referring to trans people as a "bloodthirsty terrorist cult."
