Like I've already said, if you support democracy, you will EDUCATE and INFORM the public, and then allow them to make their choice. Simply overriding the will of the majority is in fact tyrrany.
What you are stating is a subjective morality - which is irrelevent, considering anyone could apply their morality and declare it is preventing tyrrany of the masses.
What if I were to take power by military coup and declare gun ownership, car ownership and smoking illegal, because the tyrrany of the masses was destroying the nation, ecology and nonsmokers health?
Would I not be a tyrant? Try to see past your view on this particular subjects merits, and look at the bigger question of imposing a morality on a populace.
EDUCATION AND INFORMATION. Then leave it to the people, rightly or wrongly.
Or admit you are a despot
