It's my personal view that in general these kinds of situations fall pretty clearly under the Non discrimination policy of the Foundation<http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Non_discrimination_policy

I don't think the non discrimination policy should be construed to apply to the communities: the policy says that it applies to the Wikimedia Foundation and makes no mention of the projects or volunteers. Note also that it is listed under "Board and staff" on the navigation template (the policies that apply to the projects are listed above).
In any event, paraphilias are not legally protected characteristics.
