Today, unelected judges cast aside the will of the people of California who voted to protect traditional marriage. This decision does not end this fight, and I expect it to go to the Supreme Court. That prospect underscores the vital importance of this election and the movement to preserve our values. I believe marriage is between a man and a woman and, as president, I will protect traditional marriage and appoint judges who interpret the Constitution as it is written and not according to their own politics and prejudices.

- Willard Mitt Romney (via paxamericana)

This is where I would put a comment talking about how it’s important to understand that the Constitution is really old and must be interpreted to apply to situations hundreds of years later.

Also, where is marriage in the Constitution? (via somepolitics)

If you look at the constitution closely, you can see Jefferson scribbled “no homo” in the margins on the last page. (via stfupenguins)

The “will of the people” doesn’t enter into conversations about civil rights. The majority does not get to vote to marginalize the minority and call it fair or valid. (via spytap)
