"I believe in traditional marriage being between one man and one woman...." --Eric Cantor speaking at the University of Michigan
Traditions are for holidays. Traditions are for memories. Traditions
are made for memories. Marriage is a tradition I hope to have between
my wife and I. (Yes I am a lesbian) We make our own traditions.
Traditions are not laws. Traditions should not be made to be a law.
"This is the way we have always done it" is not the reason for a law.
Just because something is a tradition, doesn't mean it is always right.
Slavery
Women Voting
Black People's Rights
Interracial Marriage
Wigs on Men in Congress
Public Hanging
Public Flogging
Branding People With Letters (The Scarlet Letter)
A Sin Against God Being a Crime (adultery)
All of these were eventually changed. If you think that God is against homosexuality, that didn't even make God's top ten list. Sins that did make God's top 10:
Lying
Adultry
Stealing
Remember that there is supposed to be separation of Church and State....not when it is convenient for the Church, but all the time.
Traditions are for families. Let my family have mine. We need to pass the Respect for Marriage Act. We need to pass the Uniting American Families Act. We need to allow all Americans to begin to make their own family traditions!
