A Colorado Springs Christian bookstore is suing the state over its grotesquely named “Kelly Loving Act,” which mandates that business owners must use someone’s preferred pronouns—even if doing so tramples their religious convictions. Stephanie Earls of the Denver Gazette reports that Eric and Sara Smith, owners of Born Again Used Books, are taking the state to court with legal support from Alliance Defending Freedom, claiming this law violates their First Amendment rights and forces them to lie about basic biological truth. Meanwhile, Colorado’s AG Phil Weiser—our progressive pope-in-waiting—is once again attempting to enshrine moral relativism into law by steamrolling Christian conscience in the name of “tolerance.” Translation? Bow or be punished.
The Bullet Point Brief
- Born Again Books Stands Firm
This small Christian bookstore says “no thanks” to being drafted into the state’s gender ideology cult. They welcome all customers—but won’t be coerced into speech that contradicts their deeply held biblical beliefs. Do you see what’s happening here – the state is MANDATING speech! - Phil Weiser: AG or Progressive Inquisitor?
The state’s top legal officer refuses to comment, but let’s not pretend he’s neutral. He’s more than happy to weaponize law against people who think truth is something eternal, not something that changes based on pronouns and mood boards. - The “Kelly Loving Act” Is the State’s Blunt Instrument
Under the guise of honoring a tragic victim, the state passed legislation that criminalizes “misgendering” and “deadnaming.” Emotionally manipulative branding aside, this law is legal napalm aimed at anyone with a biblical backbone. - First Amendment? That’s Cute.
Colorado now wants to compel speech that directly contradicts Scripture. News flash: the First Amendment wasn’t written to protect polite, government-approved speech—it exists precisely to protect speech that offends the powers that be. - The Cake Wars, Bookstore Edition
If this feels familiar, it should. This is the Jack Phillips/Masterpiece Cakeshop rerun, now playing in hardcover. And it’ll keep happening until someone tells the state: you shall not pass. Time to tell them that they shall not pass. The big difference here – Jack wouldn’t sell them cakes. The bookstore will gladly sell anyone a book; they just won’t succumb to their mistruths.
My Bottom Line
Let’s rip the polite mask off this thing: the state of Colorado is engaging in outright spiritual tyranny. This is about forcing Christians to bend the knee to Caesar in high heels and pronoun pins. The Smiths at Born Again Books aren’t discriminating against anyone—they’re drawing a line where God already drew one. And the state wants to sandblast that line because it makes woke legislators and their alphabet-activist fanbase uncomfortable. Guess what? The truth is uncomfortable. That’s kind of its job.
Believe me, this isn’t just a lawsuit—it’s a showdown between Romans 13 and Acts 5:29. Yes, Scripture tells us to submit to governing authorities—but not when those authorities command us to sin. Peter said it best: “We must obey God rather than men.” What the state is demanding here is not neutrality—it’s allegiance. It’s not inclusion—it’s idolatry. They want you to worship at the altar of gender theory, and they’re more than happy to toss fines, lawsuits, and the weight of the civil magistrate at anyone who refuses to genuflect.
Christians, wake up: this is the front line of the culture war, and it’s not metaphorical. This is spiritual warfare waged in courtrooms and committee chambers. The state has no right—zero—to compel anyone to speak against the Word of God. Just because a legislature passes a law doesn’t make it moral. And when man’s law collides with God’s law? You follow God. Period. We were never promised comfort, but we were told to stand firm. Born Again Books is doing just that. May the rest of us find the spine to do likewise.
