Is traditionalism bullshit?

I was thinking about this for the past couple days. I was in my sociology class in college and it was making my blood boil listening to the teacher talk about the traditions of some cultures. I think of the bigotry and marriage institution, how pointless it is and holds back gay couples. Religion, which is based entirely on the tradition of teaching a millenniums old book. Sure, some things which are logical and practical are more than just tradition like wearing clothes and eating food. Also there's staunch traditionalists known as republicans and conservatives. I don't know why people are so averted to change. It's a logical fallacy to say that things are good the way they are because that's the way things have always been. Can you think of any more bullshit traditions and things that conservatives will get pissy about?
