The Colorado Springs Sun was a newspaper that ran from April 15, 1970 - February 28, 1986. It was preceded by the Colorado Springs Free Press, which ran February 3, 1947 to September 8, 1986. Issues of the publications are available on microfilm in PPLD Special Collections. ^[2]

This may or may not have been a source for LGBTQIA2+ news, but I am making a page as a placeholder and reminder to explore the paper at PPLD.
