But needless to say, abortion was shoved down everyone's throat in 1973, and gay activists have voiced their intent to similarly leverage gay marriage. I have less of a problem with gay marriage if at some point it is voted for by a majority, rather than forced on the people by elites, and conversely (like border security and Proposition 8) where a handful of elites overturn the majority choice of millions of voters, when voting doesn't go the way liberals want.
That is tyranny, not democracy.
