You are right, freedom should be granted / recognized by the govt, not put to a hateful vote.

No, I don't understand this. My husband and I were just discussing this the other night. I was wondering why are issues such as gay marriage being voted on and not other issues. Is it because they know most people will vote against it so it takes the heat off them to make an actual decision on it? When they decide to cut government funding for education, Medicare and other social programs and put that money into the war effort that's never put up for the people to vote on.

I agree. It's insane. But look at how far that persecuted group has come too in the last decade or so. The old homophobes who grew up when it was considered so "evil" by the majority will all die off and their hateful behavior will go away.
