Minority Rights Should Not Be Subject to Majority Vote

Good article by Wayne Besen on the best ways to fight for LGBT rights.   He also brings up a point that often gets lost in the referendum madness.  Our Constitution was set up to protect the rights of individuals who are part of minority groups, and guarantees equal rights to everyone.  Thus referendums should not be allowed to overturn those rights.
