I don't really have much respect for dictatorships who get something right once in a while. The USA has strong democratic principles based on a respected constitution and is a federation of hundreds of million of people. I am not at all surprised the process is longer, and I'm thankful decisions like this don't come down by decree from the "elite".
Decisions that rectify injustice and discrimination should be welcomed wherever they occur. If your May 22nd referendum rejects gay marriage, am I to congratulate Ireland on its democratic process? What comfort is it to oppressed minorities to learn that at least the discrimination being heaped on them is democratically arrived at?
