Do we run our country by opinion polls coupled with judicial activists or do we run it according to a democratic process? It's not clear anymore.

Individual rights are not subject to the democratic process. That is what prevents the tyranny of the majority.

Individual rights are granted by the democratic process. Every advancement of rights in the last 150 years has been part of the democratic process.

How about the majority of people who realize discrimination against gays is wrong?

Opposing changing the definition of a word/institution older than history itself is not discrimination.
