an icepick through the keyhole

No, but you are both confusing "right" with "the law". If we were to say that only things that are "right" can be "the law" then we would have to first find somebody to be arbiter of "right". I would vote to extend civil-issued marriage license to couples of the same gender, but if that didn't win then it wouldn't make me abandon the concept that everyone who can vote was allowed the chance to voice their opinion by voting and the majority of those that did vote chose opposite of me. If we start wanting to adopt our own singular or limited (in terms of population percentage) ideals as the governing laws in direct opposition to the majority-approved law then that cannot result in harmony or legitimate governance.
