William Wolfe is the director of the Center for Baptist Leadership. He lives in North Carolina, but traveled to Colorado to speak at a rally against a bill that would take away parental rights. Here is his speech:
If not you, then who?
— William Wolfe
If not now, then when?
And if not here, then where?
Here’s my full speech from the @fight1312 pastor’s rally today at the Colorado State Capitol against legislation to criminalize Christianity, destroy parental rights, and enshrine radical gender… pic.twitter.com/pRw8kLsCku(@William_E_Wolfe) April 18, 2025
Wolfe is remedying a deficiency in the Southern Baptist Convention which has remained fairly dormant on such issues during recent years. Megan Basham reports at the American Reformer regarding how the Convention’s legislative arm– the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission– has become invisible and inconsequential on matters such as these.
Wolfe and others are trying to pick up the slack and fulfill a role that the Convention refuses to fill.
Gender affirming care, to vulnerable children , by whatever name they are called, to mastectomies to chemical castration and other cruelties, is child abuse.
Definitely, Fred. And taking parents out of the equation is outrageous. I’m glad the tide is turning, but blue states like Colorado are still relatively free to inflict harm. They need to be stopped.
(Note: I have not read the proposed Colorado law, this is a general observation)
How (and why?) do you write/construct a statute which requires normal people, under force of law, to participate in the sexual fantasies which exist only in the minds of people who are mentally ill?
Because these people are evil, Jaycee. They are actually setting up the circumstances in which kids can be taken away from their parents if the parents do not affirm the kid’s “gender identity”.
