Christian Group Runs Controversial Ad Against New Colorado Law

In May, Colorado's Governor Bill Ritter signed Colorado SB 200 which, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in public accommodations. The new law defines "sexual orientation" to include transgender status. Seizing on this, the Christian group Focus on the Family is now running a controversial advertising campaign against the bill in Colorado newspapers. According to today's Pueblo Chieftan , the ads claim the new law has made all public restrooms unisex. The ad depicts an innocent little girl coming out of a bathroom stall with a man in boots waiting to use it.
