I know one shouldn't feed the trolls, but here goes:
The United States is a representative democracy. And the US Constitution has explicit safeguards to PREVENT the tyranny of the majority-- which generally acts, as it did with Proposition 8 (or, more descriptively, Prop H8), to take away rights from a minority, or to keep the minority from enjoying those rights.
Civil marriage is something religions have NO right to interfere into. And if this country actually took the First Amendment to the US Constitution seriously, we would not need to have this discussion.
But we allow the retarded and insane (aka "right wingers" and "religious fundamentalists") the vote in the US, so we're fighting these stupid battles over and over and over.
Tell me, and be honest: Do you think interracial couples should be allowed to marry? When this right was affirmed (Lovings v. Virginia, decided 1967), some 70% of the country said NO. And the vast majority of them used Biblical arguments against the right.
Religion is ALWAYS a force for evil. ALWAYS corrosive. ALWAYS anti-social. ALWAYS destructive. Hearing voices, talking to voices in your head, following those voices to do things-- those are signs of INSANITY, not goodness. RELIGION IS EVIL!!
Equal rights are never up for a vote - though some nitwit trolls refuse to accept this. Really, so simple to understand, that even a child could realize this.
'Democracy' may not mean what the HomoLiberalRadicalFringe thinks it does.....
