Я считаю что в стране должно править большинство. Страна в которой меньшинство насаживает свои законы на большинство является тиранией. Если 5% населения еяляется геями, то я хочу слышать про их стиль жизни 5% своего времени. Я не хочу чтобы мой ребенок ходил в государственную школу и читал книжки про детей у которых есть 2 мамы или 2 папы.
I understand that you don't have a flying fuck about other people's children - probably because you have no children of your own. 3 years ago I would be saying the same things you are saying. However, things will change when you become a mother.
Marriage is NOT a fundametal right. It is a lot of fundamental responsibility though. Marriage came into this world as a union of a man and a woman for the purpose of having children. I have no problem with gays and lesbians living together and defining their unions however they want.
Courts should not be at the forefront of social change. Voters should be. Otherwise, things will get so out of control that the separation of Church and State will be the least of your concerns.
Tanya, I will respond to the rest of it later at lunch, but right to marry IS fundamental (this is textbook constitutional law). Supreme Court views it this way.
Also, courts have managed rather decently over the past two hundred years, don't you think? More or less, that is. And as for voters... I'm sorry, but i have fairly little faith in the vox populi in this country. How can voters be at the forefront of social change when on average 30% of them turn out for each election?
