Scary.
So We, you know, the People, do not get to decide what is acceptable and not in our own culture anymore? Judicial tyrants decide that for us now, do they?
Scary.
We do decide, via the US Constitution. We the people have decided that the states and other people, even a majority, cannot take treat groups unfairly under the law without showing that this treatment furthers some legitimate state interest (the 14th Amendment, EPC). That takes precedent over any vote the people make, whether direct (via ballot) or indirect (via representatives).
