Is It Time For "Special Minority Rights" For Gays And Lesbians?

You thought the election was over...and you thought that California, and Arizona, and Florida, and several other states had "settled" the issue of re-defining marriage. And settled it by determining that the historic definition - - a marriage being defined by the union of one man and one woman - - as the voters in, most notably, California, chose to amend the state constituion so as to reflect that hostoric definition.

Well, not so fast. On last night's show the news was breaking that the California State Supreme Court will hear arguments against the newly passed constitutional amendment. And the arguments going before the court opposing the constitutional amendment claim that the amendment "abridges the civil right of a vulnerable minority group."

Oh, really?

So is it time to regard homosexuals as "minorities," in the same way that ethnic minorities are regarded?

We'll talk about it tonight on "The Austin Hill Show."

Also......why isn't President-elect Barack Obama saying anything about the economy and the markets?

The markets seem to be reacting in fear of his and the Democratically controlled Congress' vows of radical tax increases. Couldn't Mr. Obama calm the fears if he would simply state that he will forego tax hikes for now?
