There is nothing to barr the majority from instigating such legislation.But that argument is nothing more than circular reasoning.
If the people of the State of California amended the Constitution to say that "marriage is only between heterosexual or homosexual latinos" that would change the IF in your equation.
It will all be moot anyway, because two years from now or 4 years from now the issue will be on the ballot again andI suspect with the movement from the 2000 referendum, it will most likely pass and gay marriage will once again be legal in California. Its only a matter of time.
At one point such bigoted legislation was the norm, they were known as jim crow laws.
California has taken a big step backwards due to homophobic bigotry.
Such legislation which is exclusionary of one group of people in favor of another group is clearly Un-American and goes against Californian's own constitution which gaurentees equal rights under the law.
This is anything BUT equal rights, this is the very opposite of equal rights, we're right back to seperate but equal - promoted by the usual suspects.
Interestingly we have a large group that overwhelmingly is against gay marriage. I'm curious as to why blacks are so homophobic? Why Latino's are so homophobic?
