Lee and Friday: We saved our daughters—HB25-1312 would’ve punished us as child abusers

The Wall Street Journal, Approved, Commentary, National, State, Top Stories / / , , , , , ,

We are both mothers whose daughters went through a phase in which they believed they were boys. We never affirmed that belief, although their schools and much of the broader culture did. Eventually, our daughters recognized their true identities and ceased identifying themselves as “transgender.”

A bill under consideration in Colorado (where Ms. Lee lives) would define parents like us as child abusers.

Enos: What rushed gender and abortion bills say about the legislature’s priorities

Christian Home Educators of Colorado, Approved, Commentary, State / / , , , , , , , , ,

Transparency is not really our current General Assembly’s goal. We would like to believe that our state government works for us, but the majority party in charge is more concerned with covering its own tracks to avoid any repercussions of accountability with the voters. 

They also consider any opposing views or opinions to be dissent that must be squashed at all costs, even if it means forcibly gagging their opposition by disallowing all debate. This is not exactly an overflow of reasoned debate, which we would like to encourage amongst our lawmakers.

Parents and Pastors Rally at Capitol to Stop HB25-1312 from Becoming Law

State, Approved, Rocky Mountain Voice, Top Stories / / , , ,

A coalition of pastors, parents, and constitutional advocates will gather Thursday on the West Steps of the Colorado State Capitol to oppose HB25-1312, the controversial “Kelly Loving Act” that critics say represents a direct attack on parental rights, religious liberty, and free speech.

HB25-1312 and the silencing of parents: What the Rocky Mountain Summit revealed

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, National, State, Top Stories / / , , ,

From court-ordered gag rules to the looming threat of custody loss, this isn’t hypothetical — it’s happening now. Colorado families gathered at the Rocky Mountain Summit in early April to share what it means to raise children under a system that increasingly treats concern as abuse.

Justice: Colorado’s HB1312 is sacrificing families to the trans lobby

The Daily Caller, Approved, State / / , , , ,

No parent should ever be forced to enable harm to their child. It’s a primal instinct—to shield, to nurture, to guide our kids through life’s storms. Yet, Colorado is charging toward a law that turns this instinct upside down, branding it abusive for parents to question their child’s desire to “change their gender.”

This isn’t a minor policy tweak; it’s a full-frontal assault on parental rights, propped up by the flimsy facade of “gender-affirming care”—a practice I see as abuse cloaked in compassion.

Garbo: With HB25-1312, the state can claim your kids and call it compassion

Commentary, Approved, Rocky Mountain Voice, State, Top Stories / / , , , , ,

On April 6, 2025 the Colorado House of Representatives crossed a line – a Rubicon, as it were – into territory so profane, so fundamentally corrosive to the bedrock of human society, that it demands not just opposition but a thunderous rebuke. House Bill 25-1312 titled Legal Protections for Transgender Individuals, passed with a vote of 36-20, is no mere legislative misstep; it is a deliberate, ideological sledgehammer aimed at shattering the sacred bond between parent and child.

To its proponents, I say this with the full weight of reason and the fire of conviction: you have unleashed a dangerous precedent, one that betrays the very essence of family, liberty, and the proper limits of government. This is not a defense of civil rights; it is a grotesque power grab masquerading as compassion, and it must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

How HB1312 could reshape custody courts, schools, and family law in Colorado

COLORADO PEAK POLITICS, Approved, State / / , , , ,

Colorado Democrats have jumped the political shark with a dangerously radical bill that authorizes courts deciding child custody cases to consider if a parent can’t keep their pronouns straight.

The summary of HB25-1312 passed on a party line vote in the House Sunday reads;

“Section 1 of the bill creates the “Kelly Loving Act.” Section 2 provides that, when making child custody decisions and determining the best interests of a child for purposes of parenting time, a court shall consider deadnaming, misgendering …” and something about publishing that doesn’t make sense so we didn’t include it here.

Davis: Democrat lawmakers target faith as discriminatory under HB25-1312

Commentary, Approved, Rocky Mountain Voice, State / / , , , ,

Colorado is rapidly becoming one of the nation’s most “progressive” states.

And by “progressive,” I mean “radically opposed to God, family, life, marriage, and basic human biology and aggressively hostile to anyone who holds historic conservative and Christian beliefs on these issues.”

Welcome to the modern Left—this ain’t your grandaddy’s Democrat Party.

Democrat Rep. Zokaie compares concerned parents to KKK during hearing on HB25-1312

Fox News, Approved, State / / , , , ,

A Colorado Democrat likened parent groups to “the KKK” during an hours-long committee hearing for a controversial bill that could see parents accused of “coercive control” in custody fights for using a trans child’s “deadname.”

“I really am curious about how much stakeholdering went on both sides of the issue, and not just one side,” Republican state Rep. Jarvis Caldwell said during the hearing, which began Monday night and ran into early Tuesday. “I’m curious with if the businesses in the community were included in these and if parent groups that are not part of the LGBT community if they were involved.”

Joondeph: Why Do Democrats Hate Women and Girls?

American Thinker, Approved, National / / , , ,

Democrats and their corporate media allies have co-opted the popular narrative on various social issues, including sexism. Republicans provide little, if any, pushback for fear of what the low-rated Sunday talk shows or the Washington Post might say about them.

The social issue du jour is transgenderism. Democrats are the party of transgenderism, which represents only a small fraction of the population. However, if you watched prime-time comedy or drama television shows, you might believe that half of America is gender-confused. 

Ironically, the Democrat party platform claims to support women. “We are committed to ensuring full equality for women. We will combat biases across economic, political, and social life that hold women and restrict their opportunities.”
