US EditionColorado's New Law Addressing Misgendering and Deadnaming Faces Free Speech Lawsuit
- Four conservative groups and a Colorado dermatologist sued Colorado on Monday to block House Bill 1312, a new state anti-discrimination law.
- The suit arises from the law's requirement that schools and others use transgender individuals' chosen names and pronouns, which plaintiffs say violates their First Amendment rights.
- House Bill 1312, signed recently by Gov. Jared Polis, expands protections for transgender people including rules on misgendering, deadnaming, and school policies affecting dress codes and sports participation.
- Plaintiffs represented by the firm Consovoy McCarthy rely on Supreme Court precedents like 303 Creative to argue the law punishes speech by forcing use of affirming language and suppresses traditional views on sex and gender.
- The case may delay full enforcement of parts of HB 1312 for months or years while raising broader questions about free speech and transgender rights in public settings.
