a while back they're were people protesting gay marriage and they're argument was that if two guys married they were going against all of human tradition. which is a bunch of bull. so if you want to follow that logic we should still be sacrificing virgins at volcanoes. but anyway. there practically saying being strait is a tradition.
what do you think.

When you are talking about STATE-given rights, such as the ones the STATE gives in marriage, these rights should be available to all citizens who want to enter into a marriage with a consensual partner.
It may be the "tradition" to discriminate against some citizens, but that doesn't make it right, nor Constitutional.

"They" only say that because people used to hide it if they were gay more so than people do now so it was less heard of. Maybe if more people had stood up in the past it would be more accepted now but I don't think "being straight" is a tradition as such, just straight marriages are.
Who cares about tradition anyway, it means nothing. It's all stuff from the past that people like to keep for some reason but the world is changing and so should the traditions.

I believe in civil unions and all the benefits that would go along with it. Do two people of the same sex have to be married? Must we make a mockery of everything? What happens when someone wants to get married to their garage or car? That would be silly and we'd be going too far eh?

They're not saying being straight is a tradition, they're saying straight marriage is a tradition. So it is, and I'm all for it.
