…Same-sex marriage and rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people shouldn’t be up for a vote. The United States is not a pure democracy, and our government was set up as a constitutional republic with checks and balances and an independent judiciary for this exact reason: So that the majority cannot do harm to the minority at will. We also already have a law that pretty well covers this issue. The fact that the courts have generally been too cowardly to draw the obvious conclusion does not mean that voters should be given carte blanche to strip away minority rights.
