The Center for Urban Renewal and Education has signed on to amicus briefs that Advancing American Freedom (AFF) filed in three consolidated cases: Defending Education v. Sullivan, Committee of Five v. Sullivan, and Doxa Enterprises v. Sullivan.
Colorado, Supreme Court loser in recent cases involving the constitutional rights of Christians, has an “anti-discrimination” law that discriminates against Christians.
The plaintiffs in the consolidated cases filed lawsuits to stop enforcement of the pronoun provision in the law, which would force individuals to refer to men as “she,” and vice versa, in the context of public accommodations.
The law compels speech. We know that the First Amendment protects unpopular speech and the right not to speak. From AFF:
The Constitution prohibits the state from deciding what speech may or may not be expressed. Colorado cannot penalize its citizens merely because they dissent from its gender ideology. We urge the Tenth Circuit to grant the plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction.
The most recent loss for Colorado in the Supreme Court: the court ruled 8-1 in April 2026 that Colorado’s ban against “conversion therapy” for minors confused about their sex was unconstitutional.
