You are correct about basing our laws around our current society but as Americans we also base our laws on a document that is over 200 years old. It is a balance of new problems and our founding principals. In that light we deserve as Americans to vote on such an important issue. It should not be dictated by any group. The final and highest authority that our government can give is to amend the constitution. If it is truly a vocal minority in our country that wants to protect traditional marriage then a vote would show that. However, if the opposite is true then that will be brought to light as well.
