I’m truly happy about this. It seems like a dangerous thing to have the rights and equality of a minority, especially an oft-maligned one, be determined by popular vote, since the majority’s view of a minority’s rights is irrelevant to whether or not they should have those rights, and it will be harder to secure via a different route if a popular vote goes the other way. But when it works it is very affirming for your place in that country.
