For what?
How does society benefit here? or is just all about a political movement flexing it's power?
We do NOT live in a country where the majority rules. We live in a Constitutional Republic specifically because we wanted to avoid majority rule. (Read the Federalist Papers, some time, if you want to know why the founders did this... tl;dr version: they were aware that a majority could trample on the minority, and sought to protect the basic human rights of all American citizens.)
Society benefits here by not trampling on one of its minorities. It's really, really simple.

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
