- Contrary to the reporter's coverage of this campaign and issue, there

- Why does heterosexual behavior a specially-protected group make?
-
- The Colorado initiative set aside special rights for heterosexuals, by
- specifically denying those rights ONLY for people of other
- sexualities. Being against special rights, I should think you would
- oppose this.
-
- No gay group I know of has EVER proposed legislation that did not
- include heterosexuals.
-
- Quite a little double-standard there.
