Supreme Court rejects appeal to allow DC citizens to vote on same-sex 'marriage'

This is how the radical left advances its agenda against the will of the people...by forcing it on society.  What's wrong with letting citizens vote on it?  Is it because every time it is put to a vote same-sex marriage loses?


The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal by traditional marriage supporters to allow residents of Washington, D.C. to actually vote on legally recognizing same-sex “marriage.” The legalization of same-sex “marriage” in the city was approved by a 13-member council in late 2009.

On Jan. 18, the Supreme Court dismissed an attempt headed by the Alliance Defense Fund, Stand4MarriageDC and other traditional marriage supporters to place a measure on the ballot that would have let D.C. citizens vote on whether or not marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman.

The Supreme Court did not issue comment explaining its rejection of the appeal.

The group filed a lawsuit against the district's Board of Elections and Ethics after it refused to put that initiative on the ballot. The board explained that it rejected the ballot initiative because a referendum on the issue would allow discrimination.

In December of 2009, the D.C. Council passed a bill legalizing same-sex “marriage” by an 11-2 margin, despite the objections of many American clergy, the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington and others.

I personally (if you count my opinion) do not agree with same-sex marriage, but do not want to denigrate these people, for some people with bad intentions and I have come to mock these people.
Do you think God allows us to shame someone no matter what those people did?
God allows us to judge others?
Congratulations for posting and greet everyone with respect!
