no one voted on approving gay marriage; it became legal because of decision from the the supreme court that invalidated doma.

the closes thing that makes your statement true is the respect for marriage act; which came 8 years after doma was invalidated and whose only real power is to give anti-gay bigots legal protections, since the supreme court already decided against anti-gay marriage laws.

My statement is that gay marriage, like all civil rights, was not won by voting, but because of agitation from a large group of people. The fact that it got instuted thru the supreme court furthers this argument, it does not lessen it.
