The Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance is planning to stage a candlelight vigil on the Green tomorrow night to protest a controversial Colorado law that denies gays, lesbians and bisexuals any special preferences or protection from job and housing discrimination. The vigil will coincide with the United States Supreme Court's consideration of the law, said Alexis Sainz '96, a member of DRA and co-chair of the former Dartmouth Area Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Organization. The Supreme Court will start hearing oral arguments on the constitutionality of Colorado's Amendment Two tomorrow morning. Amendment Two, a referendum passed in 1992 by the citizens of Colorado, states that any person of "homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual orientation" will not be given "any minority status, quota preference, protected status, or claim of discrimination." The Colorado Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional but the state appealed to the U.S.
