It seems blatantly obvious to me based on this vote that the majority of people in this country are simply opposed to the legalization of gay marraige. Say what you will, but if this couldn't even pass in California, then the majority vote in other states would be much higher. When you say it's "taking rights away" what exactly does that mean? The people never voted on this, only the supreme court did. Like a true democracy, the people have had a chance to vote this time and it was rejected. Some people in here act like gays have no rights already. They have been able to have civil unions for many years, are able to adopt, and even get tax breaks like married straight couples.
- Except that the same groups who worked to ban marriage will go on to work to revoke those rights as welllocustsloth
- also, like i said earlier, amendments to the constitution are not voted on by people but by legislators and judgesspifflink
- that's the way its done, that's how it was done for the somewhat analogous national reconstruction amendmentsspifflink
