evidence: Walz entered his second term as governor in 2023 after Minnesota voters elected a dozen state lawmakers who identified as LGBTQ+ — the most in state history. The Democratic legislators formed a "queer caucus" that prioritized passing a trans refuge bill designed to prevent the state from enforcing court orders from other states to remove children from parents who approve gender-affirming care. [...] Jeff Evans, president and CEO of the Minnesota Family Council, a Christian organization, condemned "the so-called Trans Refuge bill which could take children away from their parents if parents do not provide access to harmful ‘gender-affirming care,’" in an X post after Harris tapped Walz as her running mate. Conservative radio host Megyn Kelly falsely accused Walz of signing a bill that lets the state take away children from parents who do not agree to "sterilize them & chop off their body parts in the name of ‘gender affirming care.’"
