This morning I came across an article entitled "The Tyranny of the Majority - Should Gay Marriage Even be on the Ballot?" and I want to share just a little bit of that with you:Suppose desegregation of schools had been put to a popular vote in the South?It's my opinion that gay marriage should not be put on the ballot in any state. Nor should civil rights such as the freedom to not be discriminated against at work or to have equal access to spousal health care benefits. America has a separation of powers, a system of checks and balances. Where is the balance of power when it comes to a "people's veto" or a bias motivated majority?
Think about it.

I don´t think there have been many days since I was a child that I didn´t understand the injustice going on directed toward people like me...it´s almost so hypocritical that one can´t take any honorable teachings seriously (I thought the same thing about racial bigots...I´m now 66 years old).
ReplyDeleteBut then, there are people like you that continue to light the way and I´ve always Trusted God (I just didn´t understand the roadmap but that is becoming more clear).
Abrazos fuerte (and thanks for all your helpful words along the way),

And thank you for your very kind comment, Leonardo!
