Colorado Voters to Decide on Transgender Sports Ban and Minors Surgery Restrictions
Colorado voters will have the final say in November on a contentious measure barring transgender students from K through twelve and college sports teams that do not match their sex assigned at birth. The proposal, backed by activists Erin Lee and Michele Austin, surpassed the required signatures in March. This comes after a federal order for Jefferson County schools to drop policies allowing transgender kids to use certain facilities. LGBTQ groups in Colorado condemn the move, labeling it a dangerous political attack on trans youth and families. The state is also considering three other initiatives, including increased penalties for fentanyl crimes, mandatory reporting of undocumented offenders, and harsher penalties for human trafficking. Three more proposals are currently gathering signatures for the ballot, focusing on road funding, natural gas rights, and a graduated income tax.
