MN: Some religious leaders say Equal Rights Amendment infringes on their rights

A proposed constitutional amendment that would protect Minnesotans from discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, or sex is moving closer to the ballot as it advances through the Legislature.

The proposal, known as the Equal Rights Amendment or ERA, passed the House Rules and Legislative Administration Committee Monday and could come to a vote on the House floor in the coming days.

If the Legislature passes the ERA and the governor signs it, the amendment would go to a statewide vote in 2026.

Religious leaders are fighting the proposed amendment at the Capitol and are prepared to take the campaign to voters if necessary.

Ah Religious leaders? How about just sucking-it-up like everybody else does. There's hundreds of religious teachings that we don't always agree with each other. YOU AIN'T SPECIAL. again..suck it up.
