Colorado Family Action (CFA) is a Christian fundamentalist lobbying organization founded in 2007. It opposes gay marriage or domestic partnership,[3] gay adoption, and adoption by unmarried people.[4] In conjunction with Lieutenant Governor Jane Norton, CFA lead the 2006 campaign that outlawed gay marriage in the Colorado Constitution.[3] The organization advocates for conversion therapy,[5] the pseudoscientific practice of trying to change sexual orientation. It fights against birth control access[6] and legal marijuana.[7]
