DEMOCRATIC SSM? Ben Bateman replies to Mark Barton

Mark Barton claims that SSM opponents have "completely lost the battle for public opinion among the younger generation," and that the move to constitutionalize marriage is a devious conservative plot to retard democracy by making it harder for future legislatures to democratically enact SSM.

It's good to hear that an ardent SSM supporter is also a big supporter of democracy. Will he will join the majority of Americans in opposing the flagrantly anti-democratic pro-SSM maneuvers of the Massachusetts Supreme Court and the mayor of San Francisco? Will he support democracy today and confidently wait for the supposedly pro-SSM youngsters to mature and choose SSM democratically? Or is legalizing SSM more important to him than democracy and rule of law?
