The time has come. They're really doing it. They're really trying to normalize pedophilia.

Lord, have mercy.

The Minnesota legislature is trying to modify the legal definition of "sexual orientation". The proposed bill modifies existing Minnesota law that designates sexual orientation as a protected category, which means it is against the law for the state to discriminate based on sexual orientation.

One of the authors of the bill is Leigh Finke, a transgender representative who was recently named USA Today's 'Woman of the Year' for the state of Minnesota. Finke previously sponsored a bill to make Minnesota a "trans refuge state," which would legally protect parents who travel to the state to "affirm their child's gender" when their own states have outlawed these, ahem, "medical" procedures.

The proposed law first adds a definition for gender identity:

"'Gender identity' means a person’s inherent sense of being a man, woman, both, or neither. A person’s gender identity may or may not correspond to their assigned sex at birth or to their primary or secondary sex characteristics. A person’s gender identity is not necessarily visible to others."

And here's the real kicker. The crossed out sentence at the end is the portion the legislature is currently trying to remove.

"'Sexual orientation' means having or being perceived as having an emotional, physical, or sexual attachment to another person without regard to the sex of that person or having or being perceived as having an orientation for such attachment, or having or being perceived as having a self-image or identity not traditionally associated with one’s biological maleness or femaleness. “Sexual orientation” does not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult."

Removing this portion would not *immediately* legalize pedophilia, but it would allow pedophiles to become a protected class with the same legal protections as LGBTQ+ individuals.

So this is bad. Very bad. Who could possibly have seen it coming?
