Well, it looks like James, The Frau, Mookie and Krashkart said it all, so there's not much for me to add. It's not about "One judge versus seven million voters", it's about rights, and what rights are guaranteed and what rights are not. The judge's ruling was based on the evidence given and on the Constitutionality of the laws passed.
I'm not even arguing if the judge is right or wrong at this point. It will be heard by an Appelate Court, and if need be the Supreme Court. At this point it's not about Gay Rights, the voters or anything else. It's about the law. Did the voters pass a law that goes against the Constitution? That has yet to be finally determined.
