Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage
This is not an issue of majority "rule".

If it were I would shutup entirely and drop the issue.

It is about whether citizenship and the common rights belonging thereto can be compromised by opinions about sexual propriety, and whether or not all men are created equal.

These are human beings who love and cry just as you do, for the same reasons. Let the majority react to whatever buttons they will, this fact will not change. As such they have the God-given right to love by choice, not by law.

You are not defending democracy under the law, but mob rule. Viva la difference.
