Should people accept a change to the tradition of marriage to include gay marriage?

It's not that big of a deal, so yes. The only problem is that government has attached policy to marriage, which it never should've done. Now, the controversy is that tax dollars are involved (and people are affected) whether it's accepted or not.Should people accept a change to the tradition of marriage to include gay marriage?
Yes, just because something has occurred for a long time doesn't make it right. Slavery used to be an accepted norm as did the rejection of interracial marriage or treating women as property. Societal norms evolve.





Marriage is a civil institution which allows spouses many rights that are not available to couples in domestic partnerships or civil unions. All people deserve to have the same government-protected rights whether they are in a life-long committed relationship with a man or a woman. Also, civil unions or domestic partnerships are not sufficient to ensure that people of all sexual orientations are guaranteed the same civil rights. The Supreme Court wisely decided that separate is inherently unequal, thus civil unions/domestic partnerships cannot be equal. The fact that they are separated is a badge of inferiority. Many religions recognize marriage as a religious institution in addition to a civil one. However, churches may choose which couples to marry. Also, straight couples are able to marry in a civil ceremony even if they are not religious. This is because the United States does not have a national religion; there is a separation of church and state.Should people accept a change to the tradition of marriage to include gay marriage?
No, I think Gay marriage is new and should be consdidered as such socially, but not in terms of the fundimantals such as finance, wills and spousal rights when in ill health.
Yes.


It has no reason to be unacceptable.
