Dear ​Friends,
A radical new bill in Colorado is sending shockwaves nationwide—for good reason. Colorado House Bill 1312 doesn’t just advance the transgender agenda; it threatens the foundational rights of parents, teachers, and people who work in many businesses.
Most of the attention has centered on one disturbing aspect: HB 1312 empowers the state to remove gender-confused children from their parents simply for using biologically accurate pronouns or calling their child by their birth name. That alone should cause outrage, and it has! The uproar from Coloradans has been enormous. But that’s not all HB 1312 does.
Under this bill, people can be prosecuted simply for expressing the truth.
HB 1312 would criminalize certain types of so-called “deadnaming” and “misgendering” in restaurants, stores, and other businesses that the state considers “public accommodations.” In certain situations, someone can be charged with discrimination for using a person’s legal name or biologically accurate pronouns.
Freedom of speech and religion are on the line
This bill forces every Colorado citizen to choose between bowing to state-enforced gender ideology or risking prosecution, setting a precedent for every American. It’s wrong, both biblically and constitutionally.
Teachers in jeopardy
All public and charter schools would be required to fall in line on transgender names and pronouns.
Even dress codes wouldn’t be safe. Students could choose the dress code of their “preferred” gender, regardless of biological sex or parental input.
Bigger than Colorado
When one state pushes the envelope this far, others often follow. If we don’t take a stand now, this dangerous policy could come to other states next.
Here’s how you can help:
We are mobilizing pro-family citizens, pastors, and other leaders to stand in the gap. But we can’t do it without your support.
Your support helps us equip families, engage lawmakers, and alert the public before it’s too late. Together, we can shine a light in Colorado—and stop this harmful agenda from spreading nationwide.
Sincerely,
Craig DeRoche
President & CEO
P.S. Please pray for Colorado and ​​​consider a gift now​​​ to stand with families under attack.
