They claim the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act forces them to perform procedures they deem harmful or unproven, including hormone therapy and surgeries, while also mandating pronoun use and public statements affirming service to all patients — directly conflicting with their professional oaths. Their case follows a recent Colorado Supreme Court ruling that upheld a children’s hospital for denying transgender youth certain treatments, reinforcing that civil rights protections apply equally. The plaintiffs hope their lawsuit will set a precedent, asserting that the First Amendment protects their right to refuse care based on deeply held convictions — sparking a national debate over religious freedom versus anti-discrimination laws in healthcare.
