Section 8 of the new law reads: "Publishing of discriminative matter forbidden. No person, being the owner... agent, or employee of any place of public accommodation... shall publish, issue, circulate, send, distribute, give away, or display in any way, manner... or method, except as provided in this section, any communication... book, pamphlet, writing... or advertisement of any kind, nature, or description THAT is intended or calculated to discriminate or actually discriminates against... SEXUAL ORIENTATION, marital status... in the matter of... schooling... or any accommodation, right, privilege, advantage, or convenience... on account of... SEXUAL ORIENTATION, marital status... [which] is unwelcome..."

Rep. Lundberg confirms the fear of many Christian organizations that, "Section 8 [of SB200] is a wide open door for any judge to censor anything that condemns homosexuality, including Scripture." Steve Crampton, general counsel of Liberty Counsel, has stated, "I do believe that the Bible is banned, under the plain language of this new statute." Liberty Counsel is a national pro-family litigation organization with hundreds of affiliate attorneys.

Janet Folger wrote the popular book, The Criminalization of Christianity, and has announced on her nationally syndicated radio program her plans to help fight the government censorship and religious infringements of Colorado's SB200.

"American RTL Action is a political 527 group headquartered a half-block from the Colorado capitol, and we're not going to hire someone cohabitating outside of marriage, let alone a homosexual," said Steve Curtis, the group's president as reported by WorldNetDaily.com. "SB200 also makes it a crime for us to publish biblical teaching on immorality, so we are prepared to violate this anti-Christian government censorship."
