Logic in the Narrative of Tolerance

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

Despite the Nov. 4 vote, the decision to ban same-sex marriage is not in the best interests of our society and the future of our state. A highly charged court challenge is headed for a clarifying ruling by the state Supreme Court.

The voters' decision on Prop. 8 was a huge disappointment, as it would allow the will of the majority to discriminate against a minority. By a 52 to 48 percent margin, voters chose intolerance over equal protection under the law and inclusion.


Got it. When the minority get what they wish, it's called equal protection and tolerance. When the majority get what they wish, it's discrimination.

Oh, please, great and might Supreme Court, let us kneel before ye omnipotent oracles and receive clarity for our ignorant and evil ways...
