SF37 would propose an “equal rights” amendment to the Minnesota Constitution providing that no person shall be “discriminated against” on account of “sex,” “matter’s relating to one’s own pregnancy,” “gender identity,” or “sexual orientation.”
The Senate passed SF37 on May 17, 2023, by a vote of 43 to 23. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this amendment would empower state lawmakers to enforce radical feminist, LGBTQ+, and other DEI-inspired legislation on a potentially unlimited number of issues involving “discrimination,” ranging anywhere from “pregnancy” (i.e., abortion) to “gender identity” (i.e., sexual immorality). It amounts to nothing less than an all-out declaration of war against traditional manhood and womanhood, which aims to destroy individual self-government and the family—the very foundations of a free society. “Gender equality” is based on the false premise of egalitarianism, and if its proponents get their way, there will be far-reaching implications. The U.S. Constitution already guarantees “equal protection” for the "unalienable Rights" of every person, consistent with the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” and there is no need to alter the Minnesota Constitution in a vain effort to impose “equal outcomes.”
