- No, I WILL NOT consider that you are right. Nor will I consider you are wrong.
- However, if CFV's REAL intent was to not provide PROTECTED status to homosexuals
- it should have stated JUST that without the provisions providing for "discrimination
- on the basis of sexual ORIENTATION." Furthermore, you state that "homosexual behavior
- doth not a specially-protected group make," but the wording in the legislation states
- sexual "ORIENTATION." If you and CFV truely believe that it is not an orientation,
- but a choice, you should have stated that in your legislation proposal and petition.
- The fact that you did not leads me to belive that there was MUCH more than just
- protected-group status in mind!!!

- If I've misquoted here, please let me know!!
