Against my better judgement, I'm going to do a drive by. I can't believe this thread is still going.
Did society/government not come up with the concept of protected class? It is not like the definition is set is stone from God/Jesus/Allah/FSM/Higher Power but by the courts and law makers. So...why couldn't it change based simply upon identification with a sexual orientation?
Since "we" made the definition to begin with, "we" can change it.

But there's good reason for discrimination laws to be based on immutable characteristics. To change the definition makes the legal idea of discrimination and protected classes a farce (hint: like it is now).
