Always give your boss as little information as possible. They aren't entitled to it and are much more likely to use it against you.
As a manager, I don't give a flying fuck why my team wants to take time off. Wanna sit on your ass and play video games for a week straight, cool all good by me : just let me know the dates, check their PTO balance, and ensure it doesn't conflict with key deliverables and if so either work out a plan for coverage or suggest they look for a different time to take off if possible
Yeah, I don't know what Colorado's laws are on this in general, but even if it's technically legal it seems like a huge risk that someone is going to plausibly allege that given the specific facts denying them time off was race/religion/family status/... discrimination. It might be legal (don't know), but it's a stupid policy for a number of reasons.
"I've got a christening, communion, marvel movie, spaghetti dinner to attend. It's religious."
Or
"I'm re attaching my leg, keeps falling off. Medical things and getting old are hard, right?"
