evidence: The bill updates the definition of "sexual orientation" in Minnesota’s Human Rights Act. But this does not create a protected class for pedophilia. [...] "BREAKING: A transgender representative in Minnesota has introduced a bill that will remove the exclusion of pedophiles from the protected class of ‘sexual orientation,’" the group tweeted April 26. "This means it will be illegal to discriminate against child rapists." [...] Minnesota statutes already specify that sexual orientation is about having attachments to another person regardless of that person’s sex, not that person’s age, said Brian Soucek, a law professor at the University of California, Davis School of Law. "No court in the country has or would ever say that a law protecting people from discrimination based on their sexual orientation extends to protecting pedophilia."
