Was belittling Christians who don't adopt his LGBT ideologies
Colorado Democrats already have moved aggressively into dictating what people believe.
Twice they've tried to demand that Christian business operators believe and promote the party's LGBT ideology in order to do business in the state.
First it was with a baker who declined state orders to violate his faith and promote same-sex duos getting married. Then it was a software designer who declined to violate her faith by promoting same-sex duos getting married.
Both times the U.S. Supreme Court slapped them down, although the Democrats have yet to relinquish their agenda.
And yet another case is pending before that same court involving the state's demand for counselors that they promote LGBT ideologies, but are banned for simply telling clients that they can have discussions about unwanted feelings and work through them.
But even with that, the all-leftist regime in the state, a homosexual Democrat governor, Democrat majorities in the state House and Senate and an all-Democrat state Supreme Court that wildly tried to bar President Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot, is not done.
Now they're telling God what they want Him to be.
That would be "trans."
It was Democrat state Sen. Chris Kolker, who has sponsored an extremist bill that critics charge would set up the state as a nuclear bomb against parental rights and families, who might have unveiled their real agenda.
He was belittling the faith of critics of his bill, which was amended radically overnight Monday.
He ranted to the Senate, "This email says, basically, 'I'm accountable to almighty God, because I'm standing up for equality, that my decisions, one day, I will stand before him and be accountable.' Well, this is what I believe: Have you ever seen that movie 'Talladega Nights'? You see that section where they're talking around the dinner table, and they're talking about what their favorite version of Jesus is? Baby Jesus, I love baby Jesus. I love Lynyrd Skynyrd Jesus when angels are behind him and the choir is singing and he's playing 'Free Bird.'
"Well, on my day of judgment, I might be standing in front of trans Jesus, I don't know."
His bill, HB 25-1312, originally was set up to punish parents who don't adopt and promote transgender ideologies fully.
The Democrats want to order courts to consider "deadnaming" and "misgendering" as forms of "coercive control" in custody disputes.
Courts then would be instructed to use those factors to destroy parental rights and assign custody based on their political ideology.
Deadnaming is simply using a child's legal name, after they've been counseled to claim to be transgender and have picked another name. Misgendering is simply referring to a child as "he" or "she" based on the sex they are.
The bill first attracted attention when a Democrat in the body described parents who don't align with the ideology as like the KKK.
A report at the Daily Signal noted that Rep. Brandi Bradley, a Republican, confirmed that the House sponsor no longer knows what the bill does.
But Bradley warned it still remains a massive "attack on parental rights."
The new version apparently, the report said, allows minors to change their names on a birth certificate, cutting out parents.
Kristen Christensen, state director for Heritage Action, told the Signal, "Colorado's HB 1312 remains an open assault on parent's rights and free speech.
"This legislation still includes school dress code language, adds to the anti-discrimination act, and muddies up legal documents with 'sex' changes. Heritage Action will continue the fight against this awful legislation."
Bradley warned, too, that the Democrats' bill could allow changing sex designation on identification documents multiple times: "How do we know that we're not giving a job to a sex offender? This is horrific for the health care industry, for the mortgage industry, for the gun industry, for public safety. … How many sex offenders are going to be working with children as teachers? How many health care workers will be going into senior living?"
Social media reacted to Kolker with:
"I seriously doubt his final destination is in an upward trajectory."
"Judgment Day is not going to go well for this guy."
"I suggest you go read the Bible, God is a jealous God and he doesn't like it when you mock him or claim to worship a God besides him. I think you and Trans Jesus will not go over well with the big guy, just saying."
Amid the jokes about Kolker being greeted by Satan, there was one simple testimony: "Your knee will bow just like the rest of us. The difference is I have the blood of Christ to cover my sins sir."
