Should the legalization of gay marriage be determined by public referendum?
Please Note: This topic isnt about whether or not gay marriage is good or bad, or if it should be legalized. The topic is about the method of deciding if it should be legal. |

we have a representative democracy for this very purpose (and i suppose it was more important when "education" wasn't readily available), but when the general public is not educated and does not have the intellectual capacity to correctly decide certain issues, our educated elected public officials must make that decision. civil rights is a matter for elected public officials. whether or not we have elected the correct officials is another issue, but it is up to them, not us.
