>>>>Democracy? Isn't the important question here whether democracy should be a part in this at all? Should we have a general election to decide which food you should and not eat? And should you have an election on what's the right religion for everyone?

>>>umm, huh?

>>>This is a goverment "By the people, and for the people". The People decide the laws. And the people in CA decided against gay marriage. Just becuase some other group doesn't like it, a judge can overturn it???

>>>This is as far as from democracy as you can get.

>>But why should the people decide for or against gay marriage in the first place? Isn't it every people's right to decide what they want to do with their own lives? Is something "correct" just because the majority has voted for something? And is something "wrong" just because the majority has voted against something? We pride yourself of having the best democracy in the world, but isn't it sometimes better to sit down and think "is this matter really meant to be a majority decision, isn't this really a personal thing?"

>>In some countries it's "illegal" to have another religion than the official religion, and this is something we from more "civilized" countries object to. But how is this "official religion" thing really different from a "democratic decision" to refuse people to live their own lives the way they want to?

>>I simply don't get it.

>Yes. Some people have sex with children, or goats, or whatever. They think it's OK so it should be allowed. It probably should be promoted in schools and parades and with national holidays and stuff.

Don't compare apples and oranges. We are talking about adult people, and nothing else.
