evidence: In March 2023, Tim Walz signed the "Take Pride Act," which controversially redefined "sexual orientation" in Minnesota's Human Rights Act, removing explicit language that excluded pedophilia from the definition. [...] Tim Walz's recent selection as Kamala Harris’s running mate has brought renewed attention to a highly controversial bill he signed in March 2023. This legislation, known as the "Take Pride Act," redefined "sexual orientation" in Minnesota's Human Rights Act to include pedophiles by removing explicit language that excluded "a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult" from the definition of sexual orientation. According to a Twitter thread by user @xxclusionary, Leigh Finke introduced H. F. No. 1655 on February 13th, 2023, which redefined "sexual orientation" by removing the section that explicitly excluded pedophilia. The bill passed through multiple revisions, and in every revision, the exclusion of pedophiles remained crossed out. This amendment was ultimately included in the "Take Pride Act," which was signed into law by Tim Walz. @xxclusionary emphasized that this change reflects a dangerous shift in legal protections and could lead to pedophilia being protected under the guise of sexual orientation.
