Our "culture?" Which one? America is a melting pot of various cultures, it's not a single monolithic entity.
Traditional marriage is a joke. How does allowing a same sex couple to legally marry defile marriage? Because all it really does is allow two same sex individuals, who want to build a life together, to have the same benefits as heterosexuals (ie. end of life choices, health benefits, alimony in the event of a divorce, etc.). It's going to cause no more harm to traditional marriage than allowing inter-racial couples to marry did, and significantly less harm than 36 hour or 72 day heterosexual marriages do.
