Reasoning: The claim centers on an amendment to the state’s civil rights law, which updated the definition of “sexual orientation.” Critics suggested that removing a specific reference to pedophilia meant the law protected pedophiles from discrimination. However, this interpretation is misleading. The amendment clarified that “sexual orientation” pertains to gender identity and attraction, not age-based attraction. Legal experts confirm that no court would interpret the law as protecting pedophilia.
Fact or Fiction? Fiction. The law does not protect pedophiles from discrimination. The claim distorts the bill’s intent and legal language.
