The lawsuit raises a number ol constitutional
claims, Fidanque said, and the seven plaintiffs

The challenge includes the Al l.I s argument
that the i barter amendment stifles freedom of ex
pression "l>e< ause it is designed to prevent dis
i ussion of legislative alternatives to end sexual
orientation discrimination and because it is in
tended to i hill free speech activity In i itv em

said.
1'he amendment also violates the right to tree

Fidanque said And it goes against the right to ]»e
