My views on gay mariage

[kılıç_mehmet]

Mehmet, you're just appealing to tradition. Who's to say two gay people couldn't adopt and start a loving family? Can you defend your argument that a man and a woman are required in a family without appealing to tradition? Because society evolves, and many times tradition is found to be inadequate and must be discarded. It is not a defense against gay marriage.

Well, I'm appealing to tradition, a set number of values that have been passed from generation to generation that is propagated by mimicry of the previous generation.
But what are you appealing to?
Me appealing to tradition is perfectly logical, as the institution of marriage is in the same way, nothing more than a tradition that has been given a legal and social aspect by the government and people.
Cohabitation and children born from that union are said to be "sanctioned by public" if they occur with a marriage, which is the reason why the government also found it acceptable to protect it by laws.
As you see, the institution of marriage is one that depends on traditions. The way a marriage is enacted, roles within a marriage, and of course, rituals and family bonds within a marriage are entirely dependent on tradition. In most parts of the world, said traditions are generally alike. A marriage is announced, people come to congratulate the pair that is about to be married, a feast or some sort of celebration is held to celebrate the union, and either a government official or a man of special importance within the public such as a priest, imam, witch doctor, shaman or someone else comes to oversee it. These are all traditions passed from generation to generation. So under which context do you blame me for appealing to tradition?


It is a valid, and indeed, a solid defense.
