An unconstitutional law signed by Gov. Tim Walz in 2023 made Minnesota a so-called “trans refuge” state. Laws like this entice children who live in states that have laws protecting them from harmful, potentially life-altering gender transition drugs and surgeries to travel to Minnesota to get these procedures.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Matt Sharp explained on “The Tony Kinnett Cast” that the law also undermines parental rights and threatens to strip custody away from parents who decline to subject their children to these harmful interventions.
Under the law, any relative or even unrelated adult can seek custody of a child “for the purpose of obtaining gender-affirming health care.” That person can then take the child to Minnesota and ask the courts in that state to determine who should have custody of the child, even though custody hearings are supposed to take place in the child’s home state.
All of this is a grave violation of parental rights and puts children in real danger. Parents are best equipped to make important medical decisions for their children, and state governments have no right to undermine them.
