Colorado Democrats are pushing House Bill 35-1513, one of the most extreme gender ideology bills in the nation. (Is anyone shocked?)
Here's what's at stake if this bill, called the Kelly Loving Act, becomes law:
"Deadnaming and Misgendering" as a discriminatory act
Using people's biologically correct given names or accidentally using the wrong pronoun could now legally brand you a bigot: "Sections 8 and 9 define deadnaming and misgendering as discriminatory acts in the 'Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act,' and prohibit these discriminatory acts in places of public accommodation."
Weaponizing custody battles
Parents who refuse to affirm gender confusion could see their rights stripped away in court: "When making child custody decisions and determining the best interests of a child for purposes of parenting time, a court shall consider deadnaming, misgendering, or threatening to publish material related to an individual's gender-affirming health-care services as types of coercive control."
Gender ideology forced into ALL schools
Public, private, and charter schools would have no choice but to comply with laws regarding "chosen names" and would be penalized for "deadnaming" or "misgendering" students.
Courts will not be allowed to enforce laws from other states that protect kids: Judges will not be allowed to recognize laws that penalize abusive parents who chemically castrate children (puberty blockers) or pay doctors to mutilate their children's genitals ("gender-affirming healthcare").
No more gender-based dress codes
Schools would be powerless to enforce basic standards, opening the door to boys in skirts and biological males in girls' locker rooms.
I'm no Sherlock, but this bill doesn't seem to be about protection — it's about one thing: Control, and keeping radical ideologues happy.
If anything, this puts vulnerable kids directly in harm's way.
Meanwhile, VeggieTales creator Phil Vischer thinks conservative Christian parents are just imagining the Left's deliberate attack on their kids.
What Phil doesn't seem to grasp is that, unlike his talking vegetables, this threat is very real.
Man, I once upon a time thought about retiring in that dump. Screwballs.
As John Denver sang, “Rocky Mountain Fayg.”
If the freaks want to stand out, they should all be required to wear pink triangles on their clothing so they could proudly proclaim that they are mentally defective.
Compelled speech by the state.
how about
formerly known as
That’s where I want to live. Nazi world! A place where if you use the wrong word or term, they can impound your dog, take the kids, fine you, and make your life a nightmare.
“Man, I once upon a time thought about retiring in that dump. Screwballs.”
Um, don’t call me “Man” dude. I might be a chick (or two.)
In a sane society it would be struck down on 1A grounds.
“Sane” is the operative word.
100% right. Usually an adult with a mental “illness” (perversion really) who it would be better for them if they had a millstone hung from their neck and they hurled themselves in the sea.
Maybe we need a law in a red state where if anyone miss identifies a conservative as a Nazi or Fascist they can go into a gas chamber.
Yup
We didnt think anything about that stuff
You might after age 5 thinka girl or boy was cute, or you liked them, thats as far as you thought.
let’s see the left’s reaction to red states IF they were to pass laws that make it a crime TO mention someone’s gender preference if their mentally ill belief belies what they were born as- Let’s see their reaction IF the states begin to Throw people in jail for calling a man a woman!
I’ll bet that all of a sudden the left would be all about free speech (NO i don’t want red states doing this either- but just making the point that IF the states did the reverse of what colorado is attempting top do- the left would scream like the rabid brain-dead dogs that they are)
I was in Colorado Springs for a few days until yesterday.
Such a scenic area, sad how it’s run.
I loved the mountain areas I got to see on a jeep tour. I could bounce around in those mountains for weeks.
True, at 5 years old all they know is that there are boys and girls and they are different. Boys stand up to pee and girls sit down to pee.
First Amendment violation.
Will be thrown out upon first hearing by a logical court.
Did you see any elk or mountain lions in drag?
I saw some deer hanging around a hotel and a magpie at a visitor center.
I was at an elk camp one year in sw wyo. Couple of magpies hung around. Cool birds.
