Minnesota Lawmakers have proposed a law that would require age-verification legislation for online pornography. This should not be controversial. Most sensible people can understand why this is better for society. There’s a reason minors are not permitted to access these sites, and we don't have to go into those reasons because of this little thing called “common sense.”

Minnesota Democrat Leigh Finke, who formerly went by the name Chris, does not have common sense. According to they/them, this law is bad because “queer kids” won’t receive the education he believes they deserve.

According to IBT:

During committee discussion tied to the bill's 19 February 2026 hearing, Democratic Rep. Leigh Finke of St. Paul raised objections centred on unintended consequences for LGBTQ youth. Video from the hearing, archived through Minnesota House webcast systems, shows Finke arguing that some young people, particularly those questioning their sexuality, may use online material to understand identity and relationships in the absence of inclusive education or supportive environments.

There are like 10 million websites that claim to be “educational” for LGBTQ youth that don't have explicit material. Not saying those sites are moral, but it makes the justification for the point that much worse.

Finke warned lawmakers that broad restrictions could remove sources of information that, while explicit, sometimes function as informal exposure to sexual identity for young people who lack other resources. Her remarks framed the issue as one involving youth wellbeing rather than endorsement of pornography consumption.

Even if there was some dire need for these kids to receive this type of education, which there certainly is not, why would he be arguing in favor of them accessing these sites? While he tried to frame it as compassion, you can draw your own conclusions.

There are so many things wrong with what he said, and words cannot even convey how deranged it was.

Firstly, even if there was some need for trans youth to access educational material, which there is not, why would you give them free rein to the most evil parts of the internet? That's not compassion; it is morally reprehensible, to say the very least.

Secondly, even if his sole point was to provide educational material for minors, you wouldn't do so on these websites. How is that so hard to comprehend?

There are already tons of LGBTQ websites for children, and even those do more harm than good. You don't need to object to sensible laws to provide more of that content, but this is not a sensible person, and that is why this story exists.

There are an endless number of adjectives that can be used to condemn this lawmaker's sinister positions, but no one's got time for that. However, it's worth noting that back in the day, this used to be called grooming. But since the left often redefines words, to them, this is education. Just because you change the meaning of words does not change the immorality behind the justification. Whether you label it as pornography or as education, it still needs to be morally condemned.

His last point is also worth mocking. According to him, many on the right believe trans kids don't even exist. This is because there is no such thing as a trans kid. There are only children who have been manipulated by an ideology he identifies with, and it's a direct attack on innocence that has no place in a moral society.

Trans kids are not trans. That does not mean they don't exist, but people like him don't have logical arguments, which is why he throws out Straw Man Fallacies in order to back up his point, whatever that may be.

The other major problem with what he said is that he felt no shame or fear in saying it. He knew the radical lefties would defend him, despite what he's advocating for. That is because this ideology is not what you would call “moral.”

Why this man is trying to make this law controversial is beyond reason, and again, could very likely be due to sinister motives. Draw your own conclusions. What can be concluded is that he is advocating for minors to be given access to adult content, and that is deeply concerning.

Fortunately, there aren't many people who will get behind what he's saying, as it's that evil. But we now live in a society where people like him aren't even hiding their opinions anymore, and that tells you all you need to know about how far gone the left is.

“Trans kids” deserve to be given mental health care to understand that there is nothing wrong with their bodies. The left wants them to believe there is everything wrong with their body, and they need to do everything in their power to butcher themselves. One of these things is not like the other. One is moral, and the other is evil. Finke’s position is not only on the immoral side, but he wishes to add to it. That is why society must keep this man away from the kids.
