On May 9, the Connecticut House of Representatives passed a bill that would effectively expand the definition of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation to include “discrimination” against so-called “minor-attracted persons.”
H.B. 6638, also known as “An Act Revising the State’s Antidiscrimination Statutes,” passed by a landslide margin of 132-17, with two members absent from the vote. A significant majority of the state’s 53 House Republicans voted in favor of the bill.
The state’s House Democratic caucus described the bill as seeking to “modernize and improve consistency in” the state’s “discrimination statutes.” The Connecticut American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which supports the bill, used similar language, stating that “it modernizes the existing definition of sexual orientation, moving away from thirty-year-old outdated and offensive terminology.”
...
this “updated” definition would by extension allow the state to aid and abet pedophilic predators.
The Family Institute of Connecticut has termed H.B. 6638 the “Pedophile Anti-Discrimination Bill.” One week after the controversial bill passed in the state House, the non-profit stated that if the legislation were enacted, it would change the state’s legal definition of “sexual orientation”
...
Family Institute of Connecticut argues that “even people with sexual attractions like pedophilia and nepiophilia would be protected from discrimination,” although “the associated behavior” would remain criminal, because the bill “would not legalize those crimes.”
...
The bill has yet to be voted on by the state Senate. If it passes in the upper chamber, it will head to the desk of Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont, who has a record of being a consistent promoter of the LGBTQ movement.
Also known as the Clinton-Menendez Act.
It's up to us, we have free will. Which is why I can't understand why people can't send a simple message to Bud Light and stop buying their beer. Sales down 20% is not enough. How hard is it to buy another brand to make a serious stand, sheesh.
wtf and ping
No surprise from the F You state.
Grew up there. It’s the F You state.

Astounding how many perps there are.
Biden really brought out the ‘in your face’ feces.
What is causing their insanity
Anyone who uses “minor-attracted persons” should be punched in the face as a start.
Probably.
too much tolerance and compassion ... too much yin, not enough yang ...
§§ 2-6 — SEXUAL ORIENTATION Under current antidiscrimination law, “sexual orientation” generally means having a preference for heterosexuality, homosexuality or bisexuality or having a history of or being identified with this preference. However, its definition expressly excludes any behavior that is a sex offense crime. The bill redefines “sexual orientation” to means a person’s identity in relation to the gender or genders to which they are romantically, emotionally, or sexually attracted, including any identity that a person may have previously expressed or is perceived by another person to hold. This new definition specifically applies to antidiscrimination laws subject to enforcement by CHRO, as well as laws prohibiting nondiscrimination in awarding agency, municipal public works and quasi-public agency project contracts.
So the old law protected all sexual orientations as generally understood and excluded sex offense crimes.
The new one says you can’t discriminate because of illegal sexual criminal offenses. What’s the justification for taking that out?
I can see where this group argues it protects so-called MAP even if that’s not called out specifically. General age of consent is 16 in CT with exclusions for teachers, coaches, parents or guardians.
They did add age to the laundry list of protected classes which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Older people get discriminated against all the time particularly in employment. I don’t know how that effects limits placed on younger people because of safety, content, etc. Without clarity it’s potentially a camel’s nose under the tent.
Exactly, I make my living from break and entry. Who are you to deny me and my rights to income? Break and enter needs to be decriminalized.
Recommend slight correction -
Just wait until it is their children being raped by pedophiles, in fact, they need to offer an amendment to the bill that specifically allows the children of DEMOCRATS to be RAPED.
Democrat Party - the party of Perverts, Pedophiles, Sexual Deviants, Liars, and JOEY CRAPPY PANTS BIDEN!!!!!!
So not hiring a convicted pedophile as a grade school teacher would now be illegal in Connecticut?
Complaining about an old man touching your child and sniffing her hair will now be discriminatory?
Refusing to bake a pedophile cake will now be cause for legal action?
I’m sorry, don’t they mean pervert criminals?
Go ahead. Please push it.
Next will be the “Here Fido Bill”.
Who didn’t see this coming after the legalization of gay marriage?
As long as they don’t have standard capacity mags.. everyone is totally safe.
I’m NOT looking for a cheap apology from Bud Light... I’m looking for serious financial problems.
And on that score, we’ve sent a message.
The message: DON’T STAND WITH companies and perverts sexually mutilating and sterilizing children.
I don’t care what freak adults do with their bodies... whatever gets them off. They’re a yawn. But doing their irreversible sexual sterilization kink to a child needs to be against the law.
