Though I'm a bit leery of anything the left-coast slimes puts out through their jaundiced lens, if the particulars of the case are correctly stated as in the article, that people could be excluded from employment or housing because of their sexual preferences, then that initiative was just plain wrong.

Of course the Referendum in Romer was mischaracterized. The Romer case arose out of a Referendum passed in CO. The Referendum very clearly stated that homosexuals got no special rights because they were homosexuals. In other words, this Referendum prevented homosexuals from having any special victim status. It did not discriminate against them in any way.

And by striking this referenum down the SC effectively made homosexuals a protected minority. So now if one insults a homo one may be changed under our lovely hate laws. etc, etc, etc, if Roberts have ANYTHING to do with this then Bush should withdraw the nomination, pronto.
