Goosey 3,017 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Minority rights shouldn't be decided in referenda by the majority. Utterly humiliating and disrespectful to minority communities. That's why countries should have a constitution with certain inviolable rights laid out, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equal protections, gun rights, etc, etc. "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.

Bye 3,947 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 That's why countries should have a constitution with certain inviolable rights laid out, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equal protections, gun rights, etc, etc. True but constitutions can be amended and if such rights are left up to the public to decide.... It's like giving power to all misogynists, homophobes, and racists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowkeyz 1 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 There are minorities of neo nazists, communists and criminals. So majorities shouldn't decide about them too? The only way to make equality happen is social and cultural education. If LGBT would get their laws against majorities will no one will change their opinion about them. If LGBT would get those laws by making lots and Lots of people understand their laws with the cultural and social educating about equality some day Lgbt will get their rights and everyone will be happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uo111 5,282 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 if it's democracy then everything should be decided by the majority... That's why democracies are a fairy tale and don't exist. It's an interesting concept though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
