Fourth we have a Constitution to protect the Rights of the Minority
and not the Rights of the Majority. The Majority never needs
protection.

No, because the majority makes the rules. It's fine that the rights of
the minority are considered but it makes no logical sense that the
needs of that minority outweighs the needs of the majority.


This is not a minority/majority issue, Dave. Civil rights apply to
each and every individual. If the majority makes a decision that
affects those civil rights then it affects everyone -including- the
majority. And last time I checked, the word 'all' encompasses the
ultimate majority. But the people do have a choice. If they want to
prohibit gay marriage based on their religious beliefs then they must
be willing to give up their freedom of religion.

So are -you- prepared to sacrifice -your- freedom to practice -your-
religion in order to preserve this "sacred tradition"?
