Is that the defendants in these sorts of cases will now spend time and money to be sure the complaint isn’t just bullshit, which this one apparently was. The state of Colorado could have done this, but for some reason did not.

For this specific case, the individual named as half of the fictitious “gay couple” might be able to sue if they can show some harm from being falsely named. I’m not sure what that would be, but maybe?

I’m not a lawyer, but that’s the way it looks to me.
