Wyoming Family Alliance supports the right of every individual to speak honestly and truthfully. No government should threaten a person by compelling them to speak against their conscience.
WFA UPDATES:
3/4/24 – Sad news to report: this bill, which protects state employees from having to call a man a woman and vice versa, was allowed to die through inaction. We must continue the work to protect the freedom of conscience of all Wyoming citizens.
