Frankly, I do not care if gays can marry or not. I do not support it but if the choice was up to me I don't think I could deny them the right. Having said that, I am very angry at the fascist way it was overturned. The people of California voted on that ban and passed, also in every state that put it on the ballot in '04. It is highly disturbing that 4 people can override the votes of millions of people. Some people see this as a step forward for human rights, that may be true but it is a leap backwards for democracy. Democracy is dying my friends and if it dies then human rights will be the least of our concerns.

As said before we live in a Representative Democracy, not straight Democracy. The purpose of the supreme court is to overview cases and decide if it coincides with the constitution. Although the constitution is subject to interpretation of the individual I completely agree that homosexuals were afforded their rights within the constitution, the same clause that gives the right to religious freedom. The Supreme Court has exercised their given power in the proper manner of the constitution of the United States.
