| Description | A Minnesota legislator who said he was "shocked and disgusted" by explicit language on a gay-outreach website has won approval in a House committee to eliminate all Health Department funding for the state's largest AIDS-prevention program.
A measure sponsored by Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Delano, would end $425,000 in funding for the Minnesota AIDS Project (MAP). It would forbid state funding for "websites, pamphlets, or other communications that contain sexually explicit images or language." The bill next goes to the House floor. |
