I hope American judges will decide this matter in the same spirit that the Canadian supreme court has ruled in the past. Separate is not equal. Frankly, this should have never even gone to a referendum. Rights of a minority should always be protected from the reign of a majority. There was something terribly immoral about the whole referendum, worsened only by its verdict.
Check out this comment on the issue by MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, sent to me by Teji B:
The people have decided; now you are hoping that the liberal elite (judges) who know better will override a free and democratic vote.
I guess the battle continues; but if same-sex marriage was voted out in the most liberal state in the US you know the results would be the same here.
Let’s have a vote here in Canada (or Ontario); what are you afraid of?
Also it’s funny that Olbermann mentioned slavery in his piece; Blacks voted on Prop 8 most strongly against gay marriage. Uh-oh :)
