So, Prop 8 passed in California which defines marriage between a man and a woman. This is the 2nd time that Californians have voted to define marriage as one man and one woman. With the passage of Prop 8, many people have been marching in protest of Prop 8's passage. I believe it is ok to march and to express your opinions. However, for proponents of gay marriage to want to overturn the will of the people is ridiculously insane. The majority of the people have spoken. To undue the will of the people is to go against the electoral process.
If proponents of gay marriage succeed in getting same gender marriages legalized once again in California, it speaks to 4 serious consequences:
1) Disregard for the will of the people
2) Disrespect for the election process
3) Further disfranchise people about elections and government
4) Undermine the democratic process
This in itself is dangerous for the well being of this republic, even the United States of America. The U.S. will seize to be the United States if this occurs.
