    Sex is a protected class. There’s no discrimination against gay or trans people that is not inherently discrimination based on sex. So no, it is absolutely a protected class.

    Conservatives just allow their hatred of queer people to easily, easily, easily overcome their desire to appear to respect the law.

      Exactly.

      Say a person has sex with a man. Is that person homosexual?

      Depends on the sex of the person having sex with the man. Sexual orientation requires a person’s sex to be considered.

      You literally can’t determine sexuality without looking at a person’s sex, so sexual orientation is covered by sex itself being a protected class.
