We could hope that people take heed of their driving lessons and not drive irresponsibly but even with the law as a deterrent, people still speed, drink drive and otherwise endanger others.

In this case, the majority of people voting are not directly affected by this law. People can still get married as normal, just now more people have that right. Yes, some people may not like it, but hey, they still have the right to complain about it!

Nobody (as far as I know) is 'hoping' an issue will go away. And driving lessons are as much for the safety of the drivers as for other road users, not a viable comparison.
