Heres an example of ignorance:
That something is perceived to be historic or traditional is legally and Constitutionally irrelevant.
And same-sex couples have no desire to redefine marriage, allowing same-sex couples access to a given states marriage law in no way changes that law.
Marriage is a hell of a lot more than a word. It is a centuries old sacred institution that form s the basis of society. Changing its definition is unnecessary to achieving the goals of the gay community.
That something is perceived to be historic or traditional is legally and Constitutionally irrelevant.
[T]he fact that the governing majority in a State has traditionally viewed a particular practice as immoral is not a sufficient reason for upholding a law prohibiting the practice; neither history nor tradition could save a law prohibiting miscegenation from constitutional attack.
