Criminalizing Parents? Oppose House Bill 25-1312 Before It Kills Parental Rights

The Colorado Parent Advocacy Network (CPAN) is calling on all Coloradans and our allies to join us in fighting one of the most extreme and unconstitutional bills we’ve ever seen: HB25-1312 – misleadingly titled “Legal Protections for Transgender Individuals.”

This bill does not protect—it punishes.

We are asking every Colorado Senator and Governor Jared Polis to oppose HB25-1312.

What HB25-1312 Really Does:

  • Redefines “coercive control” to include “misgendering” or “deadnaming” your own child—making it grounds for losing custody in family court or through CPS.

  • Defines misgendering as a form of discrimination under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act—forcing every business and public space to comply.

  • Violates the constitutional rights of parents to raise their children and make decisions about their care, education, and well-being without government interference.

    By signing this petition, you are sending a clear and unified message to every Colorado Senator and Governor Jared Polis: HB25-1312 is an unconstitutional assault on parental rights and must be stopped. Your voice will be delivered directly to the Capitol—demanding that our lawmakers vote NO on this dangerous bill. Together, we can hold elected officials accountable and stop the government from turning loving parents into criminals for refusing to conform to state-imposed ideology. This is our chance to protect Colorado families before it’s too late.

What You Can Do:

  • Sign this petition – It will be delivered to every Colorado Senator and Governor Jared Polis.
  • Stay ready to testify – The bill is headed to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Your voice matters.
