> If you think stripping away democracy so that Polish gays can marry is worth it then you're entitled to that view.

Ah, a straw man. Please don’t do that, it’s tiresome.

I’m not a fan of “stripping away democracy” per the words you tried to put into my mouth. I am however rather clear eyed about the drawbacks of democracies in how they tend to treat minorities. If that reads as being anti democracy to you, then there is no point in continuing this conversation.



The comment I initially replied to is choosing against democracy, you continued the argument, hence, it's not a straw man but the position you are defending. If you wish to distance yourself from that initial position then be my guest, but thus far you haven't, except to imply it through ad hominem against me - please don't do that, it's tiresome.
