It always annoys me when these things are enacted by court rulings rather than through a democratic vote, tbh.
If it's the only way, and it works, it's fine. In some cases, the majority of the people don't oppose it, but elected officials are stalling. Then the court finally steps in (seems to be the case in Taiwan, but the government still hasn't acted). In any case, "the will of the people" shouldn't determine everything.
Tony, do you or do you not agree with SCOTUS's decision
Loving v Virginia to legalize interracial marriage nationwide, even when most people didn't like it?
