The bill in question did not make pedophilia a sexual orientation in Minnesota. It removed a line from a law specifying that pedophilia is not a sexual orientation, but the removal of that line did not "create" a new sexual orientation under MN law. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/may/03/tweets/minnesota-bill-does-not-create-a-protected-class-f/
