Court urged to say no to Colorado's Amendment 2

Article Abstract:

The National Organization for Women (NOW) has been protesting vehemently against Colorado's Amendment 2 which seeks to repeal anti-discrimination ordinances in a number of Colorado cities and ban any such ordinance in the future. The US Supreme Court has consented to decide if states can ban civil rights protection for lesbians and gays. If the amendment is upheld, it will mean that for the first time a state constitutional amendment has repealed the civil rights earlier granted to a group of citizens.

Article Abstract:

Mandy Carter, a leading African-American lesbian, feels that the divide and conquer strategy poses a danger to lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals. The hindrances created by the strategy will hopefully be overcome with unified cooperation at the Fight the Right March. The bill banning same-sex marriages and the reintroduction of the sodomy law are setbacks to progress and need to be countered. The elections will determine the needs and the future of the multicultural movement.
