State Rep. Ken DeGraaf Exposes the Alarming Push to Override Parents and Transition Children—What Every Family Needs to Know
On tonight’s episode of The Courtenay Turner Podcast, Courtenay welcomes Colorado State Representative Ken DeGraaf for an in-depth discussion on the latest legislative battles over parental rights and the controversial push for transgender policies in Colorado.
Rep. DeGraaf, a vocal critic of recent state bills, will break down the implications of legislation like HB 1312, which he argues undermines parental authority by requiring courts to consider “misgendering” or “deadnaming” as forms of “coercive control” in custody disputes. According to DeGraaf, these measures could strip custody from parents who do not affirm their child’s chosen gender identity, effectively compelling parents to endorse gender transitions or risk losing their children.
The conversation will explore how these legislative efforts, backed by progressive lawmakers and advocacy groups, are framed as anti-discrimination protections but, in DeGraaf’s view, represent a direct threat to family autonomy and children’s safety. He contends that such bills pave the way for irreversible medical interventions on minors—procedures he describes as mutilation and castration—while silencing parental concerns and labeling opposition as hate speech.
Listeners will also hear DeGraaf’s perspective on the broader cultural and political climate in Colorado, where parental rights groups have been compared to hate organizations by bill sponsors, further polarizing the debate. Drawing on his experience as a legislator and Air Force veteran, DeGraaf will share why he believes standing up for parental rights is essential in the face of what he calls an “onslaught of leftist legislation”.
Tune in for a candid, uncompromising look at one of the most contentious issues facing Colorado families today, only on The Courtenay Turner Podcast.
