“It’s really, really cool once you look back at the history,” said Jordan Roberts with the Colorado Gay Rodeo Association. “They were arrested just for showing up to the gay rodeo.”

It happened in Reno, Nevada, in 1975.



While the Mile High City expects nearly half a million people to attend this year’s 50th annual Denver PrideFest in June, the lesser-known Rocky Mountain Regional Rodeo will celebrate its 41st year in Denver with a three-day event July 12-14.



Country music artist Dixon Dallas will headline Friday night’s kick-off festivities on July 12, followed by rodeo events on Saturday, July 13, and Sunday, July 14. Click here for tickets.
