B.S.! A majority of people in California (about as pro-gay a state can get) voted down gay marriage twice, and by resounding majorities. Californians hate gay marriage. Californians hate gays. They didn’t poll me or my friends. We voted for Prop 8 only to see gay judges toss it out , against the will of the majority. So a poll don’t mean squat, if a vote means nothing.
52 percent is hardly a “resounding majority”.
If you support ballot initiatives and the will of the majority, you are a populist, not a conservative. These things were meant to be decided by the legislature, as is supposed to occur in a Republic.
