Confucius says "Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire."

Do you want to impose on others the idea that they aren't worthy of getting married because marriage is some special magic tradition, not meant for them?

Hypothetically, how would you feel if you were attracted to black haired people and you were blonde and you wanted to get married, but societies cultural and religious majority viewpoint said that it was against the original tradition of marriage for people with different hair colors to get married?

You may argue hair color is genetic and homosexuality is not. But the truth is some gays do choose and some gays don't. Like hair color, homosexuality can be genetic, or can be a choice.

Would you really want people with different hair color to be denied marriage because it's against a silly tradition?

You keep calling marriage a silly tradition.  You cannot fathom how insulting that is too so many people around the world.

And you still havent answered my question.  Why do you want to be part of a tradition you call silly so badly?  You realise of course that marriage itself is so closely intertwined with the idea of male-female union that the two cannot possibly be labelled as two seperate traditions?  Attack one and you attack the other.

 

It is silly. People should be together out of love, not out of some symbolic cultural ceremony.

I don't care if it's insulting, marriage is silly. If you disagree please tell me why.

I don't want to be part of the tradition, I want the tradition eradicated and for it all to be called the same thing. But since you people insist on calling it marriage, gays should get the same right.

Umm, female and male unions are something that is here to propagate the species. Marriage is something us humans invented so horny males didn't just fuck anything, something invented for some social order.

They are very different things, male-female relationships and marriage.
