Liberals are now lining up to create another protected class – homosexuals. A recent headline announced "Historic breakthroughs seen for gay-rights [read, homosexual] bills in Congress". It seems 'a reshaped' Congress [read, Democrat congress] is likely to pass the "first major federal gay-rights [read, oh never mind] bills. Anticipating support by Republicans-in-name-only, it is believed a so-called 'hate-crimes' bill covering what liberals consider offenses motivated by anti-homosexual bias ('anti-gay bias'),  and a bill outlawing workplace discrimination 'based on sexual orientation'.

OMG, making sure that the law applies equally makes one particular segment of the population "protected".
