Keep in mind, 40 years ago I would not have been allowed to marry my wife.
She's not white.
No argument has yet to be presented that doesn't smack of hiding bigotry under the pretext of "tradition". No argument has been presented that actually demonstrates how current relationships and marriages "lose their value" under the new policies of gay marriage (particularly given the rediculous divorce rates already taking place).
Exactly as it was for every other ancient tradition that has passed beyond its time, like interracial marriage and slavery.
I have to fight this bigotry, or else my own marriage is pointless and those who fought to make it happen fought in vain.
My marriage LOSES value if those who wish to marry can't.
