Can you imagine the state taking your child, not because you were abusive or neglectful, but because you loved her enough to say no?
That’s exactly what happened to Todd and Krista Kolstad, a faithful Christian couple from Montana. When their 14-year-old daughter announced she wanted to become a boy, they didn’t shame her, beat her, or cast her out. They simply said: We don’t agree. We believe in God's design. Let’s talk. Let’s get help.
But in today’s upside-down America, that was enough.
Without a warrant, Montana authorities seized their daughter, placed her in a psychiatric facility, and ultimately transferred her out of the country, to Canada. The Kolstads were stripped of their parental rights because they refused to affirm an identity they believed would cause long-term harm.
This is not a dystopian novel. This happened in 2024, in the United States of America.
That nightmare is on the brink of becoming law in Colorado, and it won’t stop there.
Colorado lawmakers just passed HB25-1312, a radical bill that redefines "family violence" to include ideological disagreement.
Under this law, parents who refuse to “affirm” a child’s gender identity, even with compassion, will be labeled abusers.
In other words, your faith, your values, and your love for your child could be used as weapons against you in court.
HB25-1312 gives judges the power to strip children from Christian homes and place them under government-approved authorities, stripping families apart over parental faith.
This bill isn’t just dangerous for Colorado. It’s a blueprint for how the government will punish faith-based parenting in every state.
If Colorado sets this precedent, other states will follow. That’s why we must act now.
America is watching. What Colorado lawmakers do next will shape the future for every parent in this country.
Parents, not government officials or politicians, know what's best for their own children.
HB25-1312 twists loving, cautious parenting into a punishable offense when not aligned with radical gender ideology.
Choosing counseling over irreversible medical treatments is not “coercive control.” It’s called parenting with wisdom.
No mother or father should fear losing custody for guiding their child through confusion with faith and compassion.
This bill is a direct assault on religious freedom, parental authority, and the sacred bond between parent and child.
If Colorado succeeds in criminalizing traditional parenting, no family in America will be safe from state overreach.
We cannot stay silent as politicians dismantle parental rights.
Why does your signature matter, even if you're not from Colorado?
Because Governor Polis must realize the nation is watching. They must know Americans nationwide reject this invasive bill.
Many are unaware of Colorado’s threat to traditional families right now, but your immediate action can change that.
Your signature, combined with thousands of others across America, sends a powerful message politicians cannot ignore.
Together, we can expose this harmful legislation, force lawmakers to reconsider, and protect parental rights before it's too late.
Consider the stakes:
- HB25-1312 treats traditional parenting as abusive when it doesn’t align with gender ideology.
- Children across the country will undergo irreversible medical interventions without parental consent, tearing families apart through state intervention.
But if we succeed, HB25-1312 will be stopped. Families everywhere will be safeguarded, religious freedom preserved, and parental rights respected.
We will prevent Colorado from setting a dangerous precedent for anti-family laws nationwide.
The bill moved to the governor's desk on May 7th. There is no time to lose.
This isn’t just a bill—it’s a battle line. And it’s time to defend it.
