Opposition to his party’s hardline stance on gender ideology found a Colorado Democrat explaining his “serious concerns regarding overreach.”
Sunday in the Centennial State, leftist lawmakers delivered what many considered to be a literal and symbolic salvo against Christian beliefs as they pushed through four bills advancing gender ideology and abortion. State Rep. Bob Marshall was the only member of the Democratic Party to oppose one of those bills, and he explained why he was specifically against parents losing custody if they “misgendered” or “deadnamed” their own child.
“This is a larger concern I have regarding the understandable reaction people are having to protect marginalized groups from the overly zealous onslaught in the new administration against diversity, equity, and inclusion,” he told The Daily Signal in an email.
“People are demanding: ‘Do something!’ But the ‘something’ can push back so hard we may push back farther than where we might have said was the right place to be in calmer times,” added the state legislator.
Marshall warned Democrats not to overreact to Trump.
