Hello, my interracial family is planning to move to Colorado. I am trying to figure out if Denver or COS would be more accepting of our family. I love the Mountain View in Colorado Springs, however, I understand Denver to be more liberal. Any advice would be greatly appreciated I will also add that we do not know anyone in Colorado Springs. We are around our early 30’s and out children are very young. I hope to find a place where I can be myself and meet people who will accept us.

In my view there is little difference, if any, as to how interracial families fare in the two cities. I live in Colorado Springs and while it has a reputation of conservatism, in some ways that is rather greatly exaggerated.

Are jobs and budget a factor? If so give us a little more info.

Otowi thank you for responding! Skydog77- Nope, job is not a factor as my husband works from home. I am not sure how much more information I should share. We are a b&w interracial couple and our children are young, but school age. Thank you for responding as well

I think you would do well in either place.

As otowi points out, while Cos does have its conservative reputation, the constant and varied influx of military personnel means we are collectively a lot more tolerant of differences than some places in northern CO.

My kids have numerous multiracial friends both from those they find in school to those we associate with outside of work.

Live wherever you want OP. I agree that you would likely be fine in either place, but I would probably even give the edge to Colorado Springs in this regard.

I agree with TCHP. This being a huge military town has made cultural diversity an everyday thing here. It's not unusual at all to see interracial families. I don't think this should be an issue for you to worry about when it comes to moving here.
