The Argument of Majority Voting

I have come across many interesting articles and posts that defend the voting system of California on Proposition 8.  If the good people of the state of California have voted Prop 8 in, then that is democracy at it's best and it should stand!  I am shocked at the lack of vision in this statement.  If we had left it to a majority vote, we as women would STILL be waiting in the voting lines.  If we had left it to a majority vote, black people would STILL be waiting in the voting lines, as well as the water fountain lines, restaurant lines, etc...   ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  Obviously if we just left all of the major decision of this country up to the white man, the white man would have kept it their exclusive club to this day. 

I know I sound a bit bitter... I know I sound a bit angry.  I am.  I'm tired of the continual lame-ace excuses we are hearing in the media pertaining to the persecution of homosexuals by the Mormon church.  They can deny, deny, deny, but you don't have to do much homework to find all the skinny on the work they did, the people they recruited, the money they raised, etc...  Again, it just comes down to telling the truth - owning up to what you have done - and being accountable.  If you want to raise millions and millions of dollars to jimmy in a law banning something you don't believe in, do you have the right?  Of course you do!  Just don't say you didn't do it.  AND do not play the persecuted people when the media dubs you the "Anti-gays."  What in the world did you think was going to happen, oh but wait, it's just society pointing those meany-pants fingers at the Mormons once again.  OWN IT! 

On a more humorous note, I thought I'd attach the link to a fusterical (that's the "F" word and hysterical, married) short video that addresses the ridiculousness of this law:
