I live in a medium-sized, rural Central California town.  The recent decision by the California Supreme Court to strike down the proposition in 2000 that affirmed the already existing statute that marriage was between a MAN and a WOMAN has prompted much response in our local newspaper online comment site from the relatively small liberal clique in my town.  I, not being able to restrain myslef, chimed in on the debate.  What I came out understanding is that liberals/gays can not explain what rights of theirs are violated by the Proposition, especially considering that California in 2004 passed a comprehensive Domestic Partnership Rights and Responsibilities Act.  One of the primary principles our government is based on "majority rule, minority rights" is being destroyed and bastardized by the liberal/gay attack on marriage.  I might be willing to cosider the gay argument if someone could explain to me what rights are being violated.
