Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
A recent Comment of the Day post in which a reader argued that too many Coloradans display out-of-state hate revved up even more conversation.
Many of the remarks came from people born elsewhere.
According to them, an antipathy for folks who don't have roots in the state is stronger here than other places they've been — and so is a sense of entitlement over this status.
This response sums up much of the argument.

Well, I'm from out-of-state an I don't act like I own Colorado. People who live here act like its a big deal they are from here, with those stupid "native" stickers. Like, we get it you're from Colorado. You don't have to tell us every 5 seconds, like a vegan.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
