Topic: Gay marriage
Quote: 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.
Response: 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.\nI 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 doesn't mean we should have to redefine marriage to do it.\nAs 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.
