This is all about equal, and rights and deserve for the pursuit for happiness, but personally i dont support the idea of gay rights.

Time and History have recorded that “Democracy”, even though it has best intentions, has not always been right. Was Democracy right when Black people were considered less than White people? Was Democracy right when women were not allowed to vote or perform certain jobs? Is democracy of the majority right when human rights are about to be violated. Was the Constitution of the United States of America decided by a majority or a Democracy? Doesn’t that same Constitution say that all men are created equal and we all deserve the pursuit of happiness? Please, don’t twist the facts to justify your position.

The court must strike Prop. 8. The Equal Protection Clause (of the California constitution) means nothing at all if it can be applied on a case-by-case basis by a simple majority vote of the people. The whole point of equal protection (and the independent judiciary that’s supposed to enforce it) is to protect minority groups against the “tyranny of the majority.” It’s gays today–tommorow it might be Christians.
