Vadnais Heights Draws Legislative Scrutiny: What It Means for House passes to make a ‘refuge’ for child sex changes  — Heather Gustafson Constituent Briefing

Residents of Vadnais Heights may want to follow a Minnesota legislative proposal concerning house passes to make a ‘refuge’ for child sex changes .

The “trans refuge” bill was passed, after hours of debate, largely along party lines.

It will now proceed to the Minnesota Senate, where Democrats hold a much smaller one-seat majority.

Tensions rose after a group of counter-protesters arrived, attempting to shout over their opponents and in one case pushing a man who was opposed to the bill.

A woman was knocked to the ground during the brief altercation.

Another protester in favor of the bill threatened a local pastor, saying “Antifa” would vandalize his home.

This same protester was carrying a “Thank God for Abortion” bag, which he pointed in the direction of a priest, shouting, “Do you like my bag?” A pro “trans refuge” protester taunts counter-protesters with his “thank God for abortion” bag.

As the measure advances, residents of Vadnais Heights can follow amendments and contact Heather Gustafson regarding the final language.
