Some Quotes from others on the Fallacy of the Majority, for my own reference

1. The Daily Backtrack: Applause and Thumping of Chairs


"No, no, that's not the worst line, this is: "(A) heterosexual, stable family... it's what we teach in schools, what parents want to see, want their children to see... to set their expectations and encourage them to develop in this direction". From our own Prime Minister's mouth- and here's a coinage, we live in a country with a "Straight Atmosphere". Breathe in our wonderful heterosexual air, it makes everyone grow up into Biblically acceptable copulators, go forth and multiply, nevermind the gay people.

[...]

In the past, the government used the word "backlash" instead of "pushback". In the former, the government insisted that the more gay people pushed for their rights, the more clamping-down would come. This was a warning- shut up or we will turn violent. In the latter, however, the government realises that it is not just gay people who find the law unconstitutional, and they would never touch their precious heterosexuals, so it becomes a "pushback"- shut up or you'll get more resistance. I for one do not believe the resistance could get any stronger."


2. Loveless Summer: Singaporeans are scared sh*tless by gay people


3. And an exchange between lbandit and Darth Grievous on 377A itself, links can be found from lbandit's most cogent post on it, here.
