Colorado Family Action (CFA) is a Christian fundamentalist lobbying organization founded in 2007. It opposes gay marriage or domestic partnership, [3] gay adoption, and adoption by unmarried people. [4] The organization advocates for conversion therapy, [5] the pseudoscientific practice of trying to change sexual orientation. It fights against birth control access [6] and legal marijuana. [7]
CFA is a Family Policy Council, meaning that it is a state-based affiliate of Focus on the Family. [8]
Colorado Family Action director Debbie Chaves states there is an " LGBTQ agenda driving policy" in Colorado which justifies CFA's support for legal conversion therapy. Chaves opposes sex education for the same reason, supporting instead "a biblical world view of sexuality" without gay people. [5]
In conjunction with Lieutenant Governor Jane Norton, CFA lead the 2006 campaign that outlawed gay marriage in the Colorado Constitution. [3]
The board of directors sets CFA's policy. Notable past and present board members listed by the Colorado Secretary of State include:
