if not, why not?

And, incidentally, on the basis that the constitution is a living and alterable document, the majority matters a very great deal.
Instances of major alteration in the US:
1) Universal Sufferage
2) Slavery
and more.

a minority group had to start a movement for the change in the status quo. this is the same situtation here, we're talking about equal rights for same sex-marriages and this is started by a minority group (mainly gays and liberals n libertarians etc...)
