House Bill 25-1312, known as the “Kelly Loving Act”, is a sweeping, radical leftist mandate that forces compliance with progressive gender ideology under threat of legal penalties.
This bill:
- Mandates that schools and public entities use individuals’ chosen names and pronouns—even if they conflict with biological reality.
- Redefines “deadnaming” and “misgendering” as discriminatory acts, making them punishable under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act.
- Strips parental rights in custody cases by labeling the use of a child’s legal name as “coercive control”.
- Bans enforcement of out-of-state laws related to custody changes for minors receiving gender-affirming care, defying parental rights across state lines.
- Requires inclusive dress codes in schools, prohibiting any gender-specific guidelines.
This bill threatens freedom of speech, parental rights, and community standards by enforcing radical gender ideology through legislation.
My Thoughts on the Bill
Let’s call this what it is: a government mandate to enforce progressive ideology—no matter the cost to free speech, parental rights, or community values. It literally is the government forcing you to shut your mouth and deny God’s truth about how He created man and woman.
HB 25-1312 forces compliance with radical gender theories under threat of legal action. It’s not about protecting anyone—it’s about pushing a political agenda that silences dissent.
Why HB 25-1312 Must Be Stopped
❌ Threatens Free Speech – Criminalizing “deadnaming” and “misgendering” makes opinions illegal.
❌ Attacks Parental Rights – Courts could label a parent’s refusal to affirm a child’s gender identity as “coercive control”.
❌ Forces Schools to Comply – Teachers and students are forced to adhere to new speech mandates, regardless of personal beliefs.
❌ Prioritizes Ideology Over Facts – Imposing radical gender theories as law undermines biological reality and common sense.
Enough is Enough: Stand for Freedom and Parental Rights!
This bill is not about protecting anyone—it’s about enforcing ideology through fear and legal action. We must protect free speech and parental authority from being trampled by radical policies.
