From the Daily Caller:
Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Leigh Finke claimed during a Thursday hearing that pornography could be “educational” for “queer” children while arguing against a law requiring age verification to access adult web sites.
The legislation HF 1434, would require age verification for sites deemed “harmful to minors,” with sites failing to do so being subject to civil action from the state attorney general and private citizens. Finke, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, claimed current sex education was not being provided for LGBT youth.
“The AGs in many states are, are very clear about that they’re almost jubilant about being able to use these laws to ban young people from accessing content that could be educational if they are queer,” Finke claimed during the Thursday hearing. “And you’re a principal, you have LGBT students in your school, and we also know that they’re not receiving sex education for queer kids. We know that. Prurient interest could be for many people the very existence of transgender kids. More and more people are saying there simply are no transgender kids.” [emphasis added]
This isn’t Representative Finke’s first time sexualizing children. The lawmaker authored legislation in 2023 to remove an exception for pedophiles when it came to protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation. He also received a “Children’s Health Hero” award from the Children’s Minnesota hospital system for authoring his state’s “trans refuge” legislation.
Pornography is obviously harmful, especially for children. it is difficult to see why anyone, especially an elected official, would seek to encourage its use among children, much less call it “educational.” Representative Finke’s comments show just how far our nation has strayed from the Lord, as well as just how far the radical left will go to harm children.
Several states across the nation have already steps legislative steps to prevent children from accessing pornography. Let’s pray that HF 1434 would pass in Minnesota, and let’s pray for the protection of our nation’s precious children!
