Marriage has changed sooooo much throughout its history. To claim that it must be preserved just because you like its current definition isn't really justification.

Saying the equivalent of "it is justified because it is just the way we do things" isn't scoring you any points for open mindedness either.

At some point marriage's precedent was one that didn't allow interracial couples to wed. Marriage was defined as something between a white man and a white woman or a black man and a black woman, etc. Tradition wasn't a good reason to keep the status quo then, and i don't see how it is a good reason now.

btw, biblical morals are fine. Being a bigot who can only express one's bigotry by hiding behind one's god is cowardly.

nevermind, he got hisself banned so he didn't have to attempt to challenge my keen intellect and sharp witticism. Yep. *sigh*
