"I oppose it but I am willing to let it be put to a vote by the public and overwhelmingly the population votes it down every time."

That's right. Unfortunately, this debate won't be ended at the ballot box, or in the legislature, but by 9 people in black robes. The people have a right to define marriage - what is marriage and what isn't marriage. When we have judges - which we surely eventually have in this case - defining marriage, all is lost. It is only a matter of time until polygamist unions are asked for and received, should homosexual marriage be allowed by judicial fiat.

I disagree with both of you. Sound reason doesn't come down to a vote of the most people - it's rooted in the obvious, objective conclusions of any rational observer. Otherwise we can have people vote to call all cats 'dogs' and we would be compelled to do so.

And this is the implication - that homosexual "marriage" WILL be imposed on everyone. Not in the sense that everyone will be forced to "marry" someone of the same sex, but, just as totalitarian and despicably, everyone WILL be expected to at least act as if they consider it normal and healthy. Across-the-board sodomite "marriage" will result in our children being thoroughly indoctrinated in its favor, and even Christian communities will, eventually, be forced to bow to and accept it. It's happened here before, and is happening now.
