Is it democracy when the voters decide on the legality of same sex marriages?
Maine will hold a referendum this November to decide if same sex marriages should remain legal, after a bill was passed into law to legalize same sex marriages.
Does it serve democracy when the marriage law is put up for a vote? The governor of Maine has said that the matter is about equality under the civil marriage law.
Opponents of same sex marriages argue that same sex marriages will erode the foundation of civil society and should be subjected to the votes of the people.
Should the majority get to decide whether a minority group get to have equal rights to marry or not?
