The following is from our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom:
Colorado amended its anti-discrimination law in a way that would force XX-XY Athletics to violate its core beliefs.
XX-XY Athletics is an athletic apparel company that exists to protect women’s sports and spaces. Its mission and message are grounded in the fact that men and women are physiologically different: sex is binary, biological, and immutable, and women deserve the chance to be champions in their own sports. But Colorado’s law makes it illegal for businesses like XX-XY Athletics to refer to males who identify as female by their given names or with biologically accurate pronouns. If XX-XY Athletics speaks the truth, it could face cease-and-desist orders, expensive investigations, hearings, and civil and criminal penalties. Unfortunately, Colorado has passed laws censoring its citizens for years, and this is only the latest example. ADF attorneys filed a lawsuit on XX-XY Athletics’ behalf challenging Colorado’s censorship because all Americans should be able to speak their beliefs without facing government punishment.
