When I return land to you and give you a degree of autonomy after having sequestered your queen and claimed your land for a pineapple company, that is not a "special right". I am not saying agree with this bill by the way, but the terminology "special rights" is a deception used whenever there is an attempt to right a wrong committed against an historically oppressed minority. And so, if I am allowed to marry another gay man in Hawaii, that would be a "special right". Well, actually not. It just puts all of our toes on the same starting line.I am not saying I agree with this bill, but it is not a special right as suggested in this article.
