In February, Rep. Leigh Finke, the first transgender state legislator in Minnesota, introduced a bill called the "Take Pride Act." The bill would remove language from Minnesota's state Human Rights Acts that says pedophilia is not included in the protected "Sexual orientation" class.
Finke's bill would strike that language, meaning sexual orientation may include a physical or sexual attachment to children by adults, and pedophilia would be a protected class as a sexual orientation.
"Under the Human Rights Act, the definition of sexual orientation says that sexual orientation does not include physical or sexual attraction to children by an adult - or, more simply described, pedophilia. The Democrats' decision to strike this language is disturbing and inexplicable," House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring, said in a statement.
Republicans were able to intervene and "Managed to get the language normalizing pedophilia stripped out of the bill in a vote," according to a local source.
The bill appears to be dead. Still, that doesn't change the outright attempt by lawmaker Finke to normalize pedophilia.
Finke is now saying the bill wasn't a big deal and that a Fox News Digital piece on it gave it enough traction that the lawmaker is now receiving death threats.
I'm glad Minnesota Republicans were able to strip the vital language from this bill and stop it dead in its tracks.
