Who Will Trade Me Homosexuality for Abortion???

Marriage in your culture was once understood to be between one man (on a particular race) and a woman (of that same race), that was the culture (at least in certain regions). Should that not have been changed? 'Tradition' and 'culture' don't cut it as reasons for unequal treatment under the law.

I don't care what the culture is or isn't, denying people equal treatment under the law is bullshit, what business is it of the government's what consenting adults do? Nobody should be punished or rewarded by the government for loving someone. Why should the government reward people financially for doing what 'most' people do? Why is government involved in marriage at all? Either it's a religious thing, in which case the government needs piss off and leave it to churches (and what about religious freedom?), or it's a civil thing, in which case every consenting adult should be allowed to marry the person they love. Your government provide benefits for married couples? And are gay people are forced to pay for that? That's disgusting (my own government is no better mind you).
