This move came after a colleague suggested loosening language that exempted adults attracted to children from enjoying legal protections under the law. <\/p>\n<h3>The Proposed Amendment<\/h3>\n<p>Minnesota State Rep. Leigh Finke, a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and the first self-identified transgender in the Minnesota Legislature, introduced an amendment in his Take Pride Act that would have altered the definition of \u201csexual orientation\u201d in the Minnesota Human Rights Act. This would have allowed adults who claim attraction to children as part of their \u201csexual orientation\u201d to be protected from discrimination under the law. <\/p>\n<h3>The Unanimous Vote<\/h3>\n<p>After the proposed amendment made national headlines, the Minnesota House unanimously voted to amend the Minnesota Human Rights Act to explicitly clarify that \u201cthe physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult is not a protected class\u201d under the law. Minnesota State Rep. Harry Niska, a member of the Republican Party who introduced the clarification, said the unanimous vote was a \u201cglimmer of common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Protecting Children from Exploitation<\/h3>\n<p>Minnesota Family Council CEO John Helmberger expressed hope that both parties would work to protect children from exploitation. \u201cWe\u2019re also extremely grateful that this amendment was adopted unanimously; that\u2019s a great expression of the desire of legislators in both parties to protect children from exploitation,\u201d he remarked. <\/p>\n<h3>Enactment of Three Bills<\/h3>\n<p>Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz endorsed three bills on Thursday, including legislation which will \u201cprotect access to gender-affirming health care.\u201d Finke said that the enactment of the three bills marked \u201can amazing, celebratory day in the movement for a more just future.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Minnesota lawmakers have taken a step in the right direction by explicitly excluding pedophiles from human rights statutes. This move will help protect children from exploitation and ensure that adults who claim attraction to children are not protected from discrimination under the law. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minnesota lawmakers explicitly excluded pedophiles from the state\u2019s human rights statutes after one of their colleagues suggested loosening language that exempted adults attracted to children from enjoying legal protections under the law.
