They (the newly defined rights) should lead to an increase in individual freedom.
That is a nice opinion, and certainly one that I share, but not necessarily shared by others, and not necessarily shared by the majority of others.
I could be wrong, but I don't believe that the anti-gay rights movement thinks in terms of freedom. For the most part, they seem to be kind enough not to insult our intelligence by suggesting that defining marriage as "between a man and a woman" will increase individual freedom.
Regardless, that the majority cannot recognize the importance of freedom is exactly why some issues are best not left to referendum.
