A majority of Maine citizens voted in favor of banning gay marriage. Why we have elections to decide civil rights for a minority group is beyond me.

Isn't that how we eliminated slavery, gave women the right to vote, ended segregation, allowed interracial marriage, and then gave african americans civil rights?

All conditions which should never have existed, and existed far FAR too recently.

Like Godless says, USA fails hard at basic human rights.

Eh, the insults are like water off a ducks back when I know that if I want to I can go buttfuck a man in holy matrimony, and if I happened to catch the AIDS my healthcare system isn't going to financially buttfuck me back. Happy times.

Slavery wasn't really ended by a majority vote. There was this big war in which the North (which also happened to be mostly anti-slavery) won against the South. Then during Reconstruction, the victors forced the losers to sign off on Amendments permantly abolishing slavery and setting the ground for equal rights regardless of race into the Constitution (though, it would take many court rulings to end a continued practice of separate but equal in regards to race). Civil Rights act was a legislature, not a majority vote.

Maine enacted same sex marriage via the legislature (so you couldn't have the argument for "activist judges"), but now it looks like the busybodies of Maine will overturn. Tyranny of the majority.

Just because a majority of people vote for something doesn't mean it's right.

What's interesting is that the Yes campaign was a complete joke and the No campaign fairly well run. I guess campaigns can only do so much.

Don't confuse them with facts.

The only way to get things done anymore is a civil war.
