Like the first 2 centuries of our republic when gays were homosexuals in closets and considered, like adultery, as devient from the norm or decent by the majority of voters; when wedlock was something not to be outside of and when aids was a roll of digestion helps or folks who helped others?
You see Buz, ma dear, this is exactly what I"m talking about. The majority does not have the "right" to legislate away the "rights" of others. A right is a right, whether you're part of the majority or a minority of one.
Like when the mob American voters, including the founders who considered the right to pray in government or schools to be ok with the Constitution?
Show me one spot in American government or public education where one's right to pray has been taken away. I advise you to make a call immediately to the ACLU.
If a majority of people in your district thought it was a good idea to stone you you would be ok with that? That would be direct democracy and an example of "mob rule."
If punishment was for selfishly snuffing out the life of a fellow citizen, I might want to move into that district so as for me and my family to live in peace and quiet.
If it was for adultery, I'd likely move to a different district where the voters dealt with the situation like Jesus did. "Let him who is without guilt throw the first stone."
You obviously missed the part where I specified stoning "YOU." You and your family are going about your business, breaking no laws that you are aware of. A majority of your peers decide that, for whatever reason, they don't like something you do. They vote to stone you. I take it you'd be ok with that? It is the majority making a decision. Who cares about your rights? Those don't matter.
