Marriage is not simply something that you choose to go through simply because you love eachother and all.. It's an institution, the basis of the traditional family concept.
That is true, but we have changed 'traditions' before to make them less discriminatory and backward. Why is marriage different?
Are you saying same sex couples cannot have a fully functional family?

That's YOUR opinion again silly!
However, there is this one thing that never, ever changed. Marriage was always between a man, and a woman. Even in countries where homosexuality had historical social acceptance like ancient Greece, Rome and medieval Japan(and even there, it wasn't between two, fully grown up males), marriages between two males were considered unthinkable.
Quote:Are you saying same sex couples cannot have a fully functional family?No, they cannot. It will always be against the fabrics of human society.
The "core" family constitutes, in my eyes, a man, a woman and children.
I don't think that the notion of a family should be stretched as wide as it can be. Once the family collapses, society will soon follow.
