Marriage Ban Protest

" Lake Worth is a mix of many different groups," said City Commissioner Cara Jennings. "And to be fair, a majority group should not have the power to write the rules for the minority. If we allow that to happen we will never have true equality."
SHOULD THE MINORITY RULE?

"Dare I say it, if marriage rights were up to the cities and not the State, I think we would have gay marriage here," said Babak Movahedi, Chairman of Miami Beach's gay business development committee.
WELL, YES, THE MAJORITY WOULD WIN HERE JUST LIKE IN NORMAL ELECTIONS.

We are all well protected under our Constitution from discrimination based on gender, religion, race, sexual orientation, etc; individual freedom of belief, speech, association, and the press; and political participation. You can't get much more equality than that. Gays are protected. All minorities are protected. This Amendment has nothing whatsoever to do with "hate" as they continually try to tell us. It is all about what defines "marriage." 61.9% (a supermajority) of the voters in Florida spoke and defined it for you.

Now we have a Commissioner in Lake Worth, a city with a large gay population, who has always been a champion of the people's right to vote to determine an outcome now saying something directly opposite. Is that what anarchists do?
