MARRIAGE EQUALITY NATIONWIDE

But who holds the power is determined by the majority.  That is a representative democracy.  

Unfortunately representative democracy in the US doesn't always work that way. In the 2000 presidential election Al Gore won the popular vote by 500,000 and lost the election. In 2012 House republican candidates received fewer total votes than their democrat opponents yet won 54% of the seats.

In any case a majority does not give you the right to discriminate against minorities. White males currently hold 65% of all elected seats in the US, but they are only 31% of the population. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you are a white male. If so how would you feel if the rest of the population got together and started passing laws that didn't let white males participate in activities such as voting when everyone else was allowed to do so.
