Colorado bill adding protections for transgender people — including against “deadnaming” — passes first hurdle
Bill would also require family courts to consider a parent’s misgendering of a child in a custody dispute
The bill is formally named the Kelly Loving Act for a transgender woman killed in the 2022 Club Q nightclub shooting in Colorado Springs. Under the proposal, the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, which includes gender identity as a protected class, would add intentionally misgendering transgender people or referring to them by their “deadname” — meaning the name they used before they transitioned — to the discriminatory acts covered by the law in public accommodations.
The measure would also require family courts to consider a parent’s intentional deadnaming or misgendering of their transgender child during custody proceedings. It would prohibit courts from using other states’ anti-transgender laws to facilitate transferring custody of a child from one parent to another because the child received gender-affirming care.
