I agree with your sentiment, but not your prescription. The law shouldn't rule where it violates an individual's negative rights. Tyranny of the majority or the political representatives thereof is not a solution. There shouldn't be a ballot on what I drink, own, wrote, manufacture, or fornicate with. And yet all of these choices have, at one point or another, been prohibited or limited by a democratic. Ultimately, it's issue of rights not politics. While the two have often been conflated, they are not the same.
