Tyranny of the majority in CA

Official Statement from Alaskans Together for Equality regarding the California Supreme Court ruling upholding Prop 8:


We believe that the option to get married is a basic human right. Gay and Lesbian Americans should have the same access to marriage and associated rights as other citizens. We are disappointed that the California Supreme Court has let a narrow majority of citizens vote to take away rights from a minority group. The State Constitution and Court System are supposed to prevent such a tyranny of the majority injustice.
