Homosexuals already have the right to equal protection under the law. Now it seems that this administration is determined to grant them protected class status and to implement sex-based quotas like the racial preferences or special privileges that the courts are now ruling unconstitutional. Even a cursory look at the homosexual community would indicate that they are in no way a beleaguered minority.
Men choose to engage in sex with other men and women with women.
This loose categorization alone would force employers to set aside quotas for homosexuals in order to prevent the appearance of violating the law. Now, it seems that President Clinton is determined to fill the nation's civil rights post with a man who is in favor of sex-based hiring preferences and federally mandated quotas in the work place. The Supreme Court has already ruled that racial preferences constitute discrimination and are, thus, illegal under the U.S. Constitution. However, the Clinton Administration is still actively resisting the Court. It intends to grant homosexuals the same preferential treatment based solely on their behavior.
