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.
