Erin Lee
Parental rights in schools and single-sex protections for girls in sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms.
Erin Lee is a Wellington, Colorado mother and self-described former Democrat who became a parental-rights activist after her 12-year-old daughter was, per the family's lawsuit, drawn into a middle-school Gender & Sexuality Alliance meeting presented as an 'art club' where transition topics were discussed without the parents' knowledge. She founded Protect Kids Colorado and led a grassroots effort that collected over 500,000 signatures with 3,300+ volunteers to place three 2026 measures on Colorado's ballot. Its centerpiece, Initiative 109 (Protect Women and Girls Sports Act), qualified for the November 2026 ballot and would require school and college sports teams to be designated by biological sex.

I’ve been married to my best friend for 18 years tomorrow. We got married as babies, in a courthouse basement on the day he graduated boot camp. Nearly everyone told us it wouldn’t last. But he still makes my heart skip a beat.❤️ https://t.co/u8LuuCjpSZ

The strongest case
Supporters see a mother acting on a wrenching personal experience to restore parental notification and defend sex-based fairness and privacy for girls in sports and locker rooms, and note the initiatives cleared Colorado's high signature bar through volunteer, citizen-driven organizing rather than institutional money.
And against
Critics — including LGBTQ groups, Planned Parenthood, and opposing parents — argue the measures single out and stigmatize transgender youth, that framing them as 'protection' obscures real harm to trans kids' health and inclusion, and that some of Lee's characterizations of what happened in her daughter's school are contested by the district.
