The Minnesota House has unanimously amended a bill by a t***s-identified Democrat lawmaker who sought to change definitions in the state’s Human Rights Act that raised concerns among many that the bill would weaken laws against p********a.
A Republican state lawmaker urged the Democrat-controlled House to v**e to amend the Take P***e Act, or HF 1655, introduced by Democratic state Rep. Leigh Finke, a man who identifies as a woman. The legislation seeks to change the Minnesota Human Rights Act to include a separate definition for g****r identity and remove language that LGB and t***s activists oppose regarding sexual orientation.
“‘G****r identity’ means a person’s inherent sense of being a man, woman, both, or neither. A person’s g****r identity may or may not correspond to their assigned sex at birth or to their primary or secondary sex characteristics. A person’s g****r identity is not necessarily visible to others,” the proposed definition for g****r identity reads.
However, Finke’s proposal also removed a provision from the state’s Human Rights Act stating that sexual orientation does not include p*******es. Critics expressed concern that if left unaltered, then that would mean p*******es claiming their attraction to children as part of their sexual orientation would be protected from discrimination under the law.
Last Wednesday, the House v**ed unanimously to amend the legislation and make it clear that, “The physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult is not a protected class under this chapter.”
“A glimmer of common sense,” Republican state Rep. Harry Niska, who introduced the clarification, tweeted Wednesday. “An all green v**e in the House tonight for this amendment to close a potential loophole created by [the legislation.]”
