I’m not speaking in favor of gay marriage. I’m against government marriage in the first place, as well as all the various welfare you are listing. I’m just curious what the reaction will be from people who claimed to favor the “will of the voters” if this thing loses. I guess the will of the voters only matters if the voters decide what they want them to - kind of like liberals with the court system.

So, if the “will of the voters” in the state of California were to pass a bill allowing for sexual relations between adults and children, you would expect everyone to stay out of the affairs of those voters, right?

Then you oppose the right of free association, the ability of a community to define the rules by which the members will live. That makes you a tyrant seeking to enforce a uniform amorality, simply because you do not understand the principle of federalism moderated by natural law competition among communities.

Wonder how many here applauded when the California medical marijuana initiative was overturned by the courts.
