Secondly, as mentioned many times before, it's not about forcing churches to marry gay couples, it's about giving them the secular legal right to have equal status as partners, as hetero couples have. I say screw the gays that are believers and want to get married in church, some stupid faggots they be
"Appeal to tradition"? More like an appeal to Sacred Tradition, which is equal to Scripture according to most of Christianity.
I sympathize somewhat with your own position. I do think that "gay marriage" will be institutionalized within govt within my own lifetime. For now I am just discussing the OP and how bringing up Leviticus is kind of faulty.

How come if it is a church tradition that so many priests are butt-fucking little boys? You'd think that would be wrong too, no?
Yes, child rape is wrong, Minimalist.
And yes, Jesus did fulfill the law, read the rest of Matthew 5, honestly. Or the rest of the Gospels. Or the NT for that matter.
Orrrr just keep on taking a single line out of context and pretend it means however you interpret it.
Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.
Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
