Colorado will become the first state to legally protect teen transgender treatment 'tourism' as part of a trio of bills signed by its Democratic governor.
The new laws mean healthcare providers cannot be sued by red states where gender-affirming medication and surgery are illegal if their residents travel to Colorado for care.
It makes Colorado a safe haven for children under-18 with gender dysphoria looking for puberty blockers, hormone therapies and sex change operations - which have been restricted in more than a dozen Republican states.
Leading US medical authorities support so-called gender-affirming care for minors but conservatives and some experts argue children are too young to make irreversible changes to their bodies.
The three bills that Gov Jared Polis signed into law on Friday also protect healthcare providers from being sued by neighboring states if their residents travel to Colorado for abortions.
Bordering states of Wyoming and Oklahoma are among the red states that have severely restricted transgender care for minors and abortions.
Gov Polis said: ‘Here in Colorado, we value individual freedoms, and we stand up to protect them…I’m excited by the work of advocates and legislators to further Colorado’s reputation as a beacon of freedom, a beacon of choice, a beacon of individuality where we live our own lives on our own terms in a Colorado for all.’
Democratic state Sen. Julie Gonzales added: ‘We see you and in Colorado, we’ve got your back.’
But Conservatives have pushed back on liberal efforts to make interstate travel for restricted healthcare easier.

See it in November. You’ll freeze your ‘nads off.
A beacon of degeneracy.
So children can get puberty blockers while adults can’t take steroids. Makes total sense.
Child sex mutilation capital. The voters must be proud.
Trinadad Colorado has ALWAYS been a place for trans surgery. Been doing them there since at least 1969.
So the Commies found another way to stop people from reproducing and having families. I wonder if these kids know their choices are being robbed from them?
Sorry—Karol.
Where is the Nashville/Covenant manifesto ?
The feds are promoting this insanity with their coordinated silence.
Bye, Bye Colorado!
It was great while it lasted!
This is demonic. There is no other explanation. These people have made a pact with Satan.
How stark do the Donkey Party politicians want to make the differences in culture between the states they dominate, and normal U.S. states predominantly containing people that think they are blooming crazy?
And how long can we keep the American experiment together before these nuthatches force an end to it?
The Gov is a pedo homo. He will make every effort to normalize adult, child relationships.
All because of 2 or 3 cities, flooded with Dems from California and elsewhere, that have completely destroyed that state.
The same way they’ve destroyed Washington, Oregon, California, Wisconsin, Michigan, NY, Pa.
Next on the list....Idaho, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina
“...liberal efforts to make interstate travel for restricted healthcare easier.”
And of course the MSM (DM in this case) calls abortion to cutting your nuts or boobs off “healthcare.”
there will be a whole generation of kids with ruined lives looking for revenge
These leftists are unbelievably sick and evil people.
