  19. In article <1992Nov20.000552.21257@col.hp.com> vanm@col.hp.com (Van Martin) writes:
  20.  
  21.     Contrary to the reporter's coverage of this campaign and issue, there
  22.    is another (majority) opinion in Colorado that homosexual behavior
  23.    doth not a specially-protected group make.
  24.  
  25. Why does heterosexual behavior a specially-protected group make?
  26.  
  27. The Colorado initiative set aside special rights for heterosexuals, by
  28. specifically denying those rights ONLY for people of other
  29. sexualities.  Being against special rights, I should think you would
  30. oppose this.
  31.  
  32. No gay group I know of has EVER proposed legislation that did not
  33. include heterosexuals.
  34.  
  35. Quite a little double-standard there.
