Earlier this year, gay state Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) introduced Senate Bill 379, which seeks to ensure that the University of California only contracts with medical facilities that allow the UC staff in those settings to provide gender-affirming and reproductive health care, even if the care centers are religiously affiliated. This legislation will expand access to health care for LGBTQ people and will begin to end stigma, Wiener told us back in February when he introduced it. I think a lot of us have strong opinions about major hospitals refusing to provide gender-affirming care and reproductive health, but this isn t even about that. This is about a public university entering into contracts where UC physicians are prohibited from providing care to our community. That s just not acceptable.

The Windsor Town Board on Monday, June 21 asked several tough questions to Chris Ashby, the director of the Larimer County Events Complex, The Ranch, during its work session at Windsor Town Hall.
Ashby was in attendance to present to the town board The Ranch’s plans to renovate and expand on its campus, located north of Crossroads Blvd. and east of I-25.
