Colorado Republican legislators and pastors gathered at the Capitol yesterday to oppose House Bill 25-1312, the Kelly Loving Act, named after one of the victims of the 2022 Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs. The bill would require courts to consider deadnaming, misgendering, or threatening to publish material related to an individual’s gender-affirming health-care services as types of coercive control when making custody decisions; protect transgender patients and their parents from out-of-state actions; allow students to choose between sex-based dress code options; and define deadnaming and misgendering as discriminatory acts in the “Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act.”
