HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania government regulations would be revised with extensive definitions of sex, religious creed and race under a proposal set for a vote Thursday — a change some Republican lawmakers see as an overreach on a subject they think should not be addressed without legislation.

The proposal would define “sex” as including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, sex assigned at birth, gender identity or expression, affectional or sexual orientation, and differences in sex development.

“Race” discrimination would include ancestry, national origin, ethnic characteristics, interracial marriages and association, traits such as hairstyles that are historically associated with race, and national origin or ancestry.

And “religious creed” would cover all aspects of religious observance, practice and belief.

In a May letter to the Independent Regulatory Review Commission, state Rep. Seth Grove, R-York, argued the new definitions were in effect an end-run around the Legislature.

When you have to "define" these things, you know the country is completely toast. The zombies have won.

After 4.5 billion years of life on planet Earth we are just now coming to an understanding about what sex is?

Thank goodness the politicians can clarify this age long quandary.

‘“Race” discrimination would include... hairstyles that are historically associated with race’

So a white boy who tries to grow dread locks can sue for racial discrimination if you don’t hire him. Game on!

= = =

I suspect this goes both ways, especially for anyone (1) white, or (male).

The white boy is trying to appropriate and benefit from another race’s history and culture.

I know it sounds bizarre, but there are actually “white rastafarians”, dreadlocks and all.

If they can't tell you who Haile Selassie is, they ain't Rastafarians, just pot heads.
