I hate to butt in on a US politics debate, but from my admittedly
distant viewpoint, it appears that no matter what their reasons for
voting that way, what the people of Colorado were actually doing is
voting for a law which denies people the right to claim they were
being discriminated against solely on grounds of sexual orientation.
This means the law will effectively support those who choose to
discriminate unfairly against people who sometimes prefer to have
same-sex sexual relations.  Surely Michael Cox is just trying to point
this out to them, and persuade them to get the law changed once more
so it is fairer to all parties.
