I know that tradition serves a purpose in preservation of culture, but i know that it can also hold us back as a culture. Tradition is fine as long as one group isn't trying to deny another group something for no reason other than tradition. I don't believe tradition should be the sole justification for anything, especially anything as huge as deciding who can get married or who can't. Do you think tradition should be given more sway than functionality? Why does the tradition of heterosexual marriage take precedence over the tradition of protecting religious freedom?
