With all the punctuation in this thing, it's a wonder they didn't get smacked by their old English teachers. There's mischief in the modifiers and chaos in the commas. I read it saying that homosexual ORIENTATION can't be the basis of a claim for minority status or discrimination. Which part did you object to?

The state can't make a law where homosexual (orientation, conduct, practices, relationships) shall entitle HLB'S to claim (minority status, quota preferences, protected status or claim of discrimination.)

The state can't make a law that says Rich People get to claim discrimination based simply on their being rich.

In other words, one of the facts that proves discrimination the fact that you are Rich Man.

So, Bill Gates goes to court and says, "WalMart won't carry my new line of Dog Grooming software. It's because of discrimination."

Judge, "What facts prove that it's discrimination?"

Gates: "Well, I'm rich, and the law says that being rich means I'm a special class likely to get discriminated against."

Judge: "Why didn't you say so, my boy? In favor of Mr Gates. And WalMart, you quit discriminating."
