Poll: Is this a real democracy?!


Question: Poll: Is this a real democracy!?
In a real democracy, which the USA claims they have, all citizens "are GRANTED equal rights"!.

So why does the U!.S!. "VOTE" whether gay people can have equal rights!?

Remember that equal rights for WOMEN and BLACKS were "granted"!.!.!.!.!.!. not "voted on"!.

So!.!. is the U!.S!. form of democracy FAIR or not!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Nope, the US was never a democracy!. It has always been a representative republic!.
I have no idea why people want to put it to a vote other than a lot of Americans are gay phobic!.
I even know some who think any gay person who really wants to can become straight!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well laws have to come from some place and voting on them seems like a democratic way to go about it!. What happened with the gay marriage ruling in California was a case of the courts standing up for rights that implied by the state constitution but were abridged by a law that was enacted by a referendum!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Americans mistakenly believe that majority rules in this country, and that just isn't the case when someone's rights are violated!. The foundation of our government is FREEDOM to do whatever you want, unless you infringe on the rights of someone else!. Sometimes the majority doesn't like that freedom, but that's too bad!. At one time, the majority of voters thought it was fair to keep women from voting and it was a great idea to own people of color and keep them as slaves!. Then the majority of people thought there was nothing wrong with separating water fountains, restaurants and other public places depending on the color of someone's skin!. Now we all know how stupid all that is, but for some reason, some people still think it's OK to single out another group and treat them differently!.

So back to the original concept - if a couple of guys in want to get married, it doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights in America!. Have at it!. They should be free to be as miserable as the rest of us married folks! That doesn't make me gay, and it doesn't mean I condemn or condone it!. It just means I think all Americans should be treated like Americans!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

No, it isn't!. Not even the president gets elected by popular vote!. It's a "democracy" in name only, otherwise it's a sham, a fairy tale, a fantasy for the masses that is actually a corporatocracy!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Realize that we have a Democratic/Republic so we aren't a REAL Democracy!. Hey, but you brought up a good point on why gays can't have equal rights like marriage like any other person!. I don't think our government isn't always fair!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

that's a good point but it's different because it was voted o whether people of different races could marry and gays are free they just can't marry i some states and when the right was granted for blacks and whites to be equal they were being freed fom slaveryWww@Enter-QA@Com

It is not a true democracy, but a Representative Democracy!.We elect Reps to do the work by voting for them!. If you don't vote don't complain!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Nope!.!.!. It's not a democracy!.
It's an AUCTION!
The goods go to the highest bidder!Www@Enter-QA@Com
