Colorado Daily Goes With 'Crapper' Headline

The headline is a reference to the fact that the conference was moved from North Carolina to Boulder in protest of the former’s passage of House Bill 2, which mandates that transgender individuals use the bathroom that matches the gender on their birth certificate.

Let’s face it; this is a headline misfire. Not a major one, but certainly, a belittling way to frame the arrival and presence of 35 of the country’s leading courtroom battlers.
