Colorado’s HB25-1312 Passes Senate: A Devastating Blow to Parental Rights and Free Speech
In a shocking travesty, Colorado’s HB25-1312, the so-called “Kelly Loving Act,” passed the Senate on its third reading on May 6, 2025, cementing a dangerous assault on parental rights, family autonomy, and free speech. Now headed to Governor Jared Polis’ desk, this bill grants the state unprecedented power to interfere in private family matters and punish parents who resist ideological indoctrination. Senate Democrats added two egregious provisions: children of any age can access “gender-affirming care” without parental consent, and schools or care providers can help minors legally change their names without notifying parents. These measures strip parents of their fundamental role, allowing the state and schools to drive a wedge between children and their families.
Marketed as protecting transgender individuals, HB25-1312 goes far beyond that intent. It labels “deadnaming” (using a child’s birth name) and “misgendering” (using biological pronouns) as “coercive control” in custody disputes, meaning parents who reject state-imposed gender ideology could lose their children. This isn’t protection—it’s thought control, forcing compliance with a radical worldview. The bill also brands these acts as discriminatory under Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Act, gagging free speech and penalizing parents for raising their kids according to their values or biological reality.
By enabling schools to push gender ideology, HB25-1312 risks indoctrinating impressionable children, convincing them that normal struggles mean they’re transgender. This sets kids on a path toward irreversible decisions—medical interventions or name changes—without parental oversight, potentially leading to regret. Coloradans must urge Governor Polis to veto this heinous overreach. Families, not the state, should guide children’s futures.
