A Thought: On the Repeal of CA's Prop 8

It's the unfortunate nature of humanity en masse that it is rarely without personal bias that would infringe upon the rights of others. It is the fortunate nature of our country's government that provisions were put in place to compensate for it.

But it goes against the will of the majority? 

The problem with that thought process, though, is that the government represents ALL the people. There was a time when the majority was against the repeal of slavery, the suffrage of women and ethnic minorities or, perhaps most relevant, t...he legality of interracial marriage. Because the majority of the science backs the fact that homosexuality is a hardwired genetic predisposition, same as heterosexuality, exclusion of gay couples from marriage is the same as excluding any other person based upon something over which they have no control, such as race, heritage or socio-economic background.
