Actually, you are completely wrong, again your ingornance on this topic astounding.

The people of California democratically voted to ban gay marriage.  Most people are against it still.  The reason it is allowed, is because there are fundamental rights in the United States and the Supreme Court upheld these rights.  These supercede even democratic votes.

And democracy is not necessarily a good thing in all cases. It is the best option we have, but it can cause harm to those in minority.  We should strive for a society that is lead by the majority but protects the weak, those in need, the minority.

Gay rights have not been achieved through democracy, but through tolerance.  It's a value we should all embrace.

So you think that the minority should still matter? Then in that case how to you support a view that is in minority but at the same time completely opposite to a view in majority? Where do you draw the line?

How do you satisfy: "I want gays to be married" and "I don't want gays to be married" all at the same time?
