We are constantly told that we live in a society that values freedom—freedom of speech, freedom of belief, and the dignity of every individual. Yet somehow, that freedom seems to apply to some more than others.
Today, if someone identifies in a way that doesn’t align with traditional categories—be it gender identity, pronouns, or other labels—they are applauded for living their truth. In many public institutions, it’s not just encouraged to affirm that identity, it’s required.
But what happens if I live my truth, and say something like, “I believe gender is rooted in biology,” or, “My faith teaches something different than modern identity theory”? Increasingly, I’m told that saying that—kindly or not—is “harmful,” “hateful,” or even “discriminatory.”
This isn’t just happening in theory. The State of Colorado just passed a law that make it illegal in certain public contexts—like schools, workplaces, or government services—to use the “wrong” name or pronoun for someone, even if you don’t mean harm. These laws are framed as protection for the vulnerable—but they carry an unspoken message: If you don’t affirm, you’re the threat.
Let me be clear: I don’t want anyone mocked, bullied, or treated as less than human. Every person bears dignity. No one deserves harassment. But respect doesn’t require agreement, and disagreement isn’t hate.
When laws punish people for refusing to use speech they don’t believe in—when people are silenced, fired, or shamed for holding to a belief about sex, gender, or truth—we’ve crossed the line from freedom into coercion.
What’s ironic is that many people who cry out for “inclusion” seem to mean “only for those who think like us.” But that’s not inclusion—it’s ideological favoritism. It’s a culture where some identities are sacred and others are scorned.
My faith teaches me to love my neighbor. But it also teaches me to live according to truth—not just personal feelings, but objective reality. If I can’t speak what I believe about the world, about people, about God—then am I really free?
We are at a crossroads. The question is no longer whether we accept people we disagree with—it’s whether we’re allowed to disagree at all.
If we want a society that truly values freedom, dignity, and coexistence, we must make space for all voices, not just the ones culture approves of.
Because if only some people are free to speak their beliefs, then no one is truly free.
