"People as a whole are largely biased , uninformed , and care only about the wellbeing of the majority , persecuting the minority any chance they get . Simply put , the will of the people is too often to benefit the majority and persecute the minority , and this can be seen everywhere throughout history . The will of the people often deserves to be not only ignored but put in a little can and crushed , for the voice of the people is not the voice of the people at all ; it is the voice of the majority ."
"Yours is the voice of a bitter gay person talking , who has only seen one side of things ( probably hardship ) . But there are many good examples of the population being informed and doing things right . In fact I think typcially , the populace DOES take care of people -- I think Americans are generally pretty humanitarian people . That 's my opinion . I think the reason there has been resistance to redefine marriage is that people really know that this is not a civil rights issue , despite attempts by the gay lobby to paint it that way . I will say this though : gay people need to be treated as well as anyone else in this country and acts of violence should not be permitted . We should all be able to get along . But that does n't mean we should have to redefine marriage to do it . As I said , states have the ability to amend their constitution to protect the institution of marriage from redefinition , and 13 states have already done so -- many others are working on it . You should probably get used to it . Marriage is just too important to too many people to be redefined so easily ."
