The Colorado legislature passed the Kelly Loving Act to strengthen protections for transgender individuals, following a tragic shooting. This bill emerged from consultations with the trans community and includes measures that classify deadnaming and misgendering as discriminatory acts. Advocates highlight the importance of this legislation in affirming the identities of trans Coloradans. Supporters stress its significance amidst challenging experiences faced by transgender residents, reinforcing that legislation is necessary to protect and recognize their rights in various settings.
In a time where trans people are feeling lost, alone, terrorized, and unsafe let this bill be a message. Trans people deserve to live.
This bill's needed because if transgender residents were never harassed, denied services, or mocked in official settings, additional clarification would be unnecessary.
The lived evidence shows that gaps persist.
Seeing my adopted home state actually do something to protect me ... means a lot.
