This...isn't really a response to what I said, but okay. I mean, it's a little silly to say it's just the way I see it when my bottom line is marriage is and should remain the unique union of a man and a woman, which is what most people who have weighed in the issue have concluded as well.
"We have always discriminated" is not a rational or legally sustainable argument. It is the weakest argument in the bigot handbook.
Argumentum ad populum is also a logical fallacy. The majority of people once concluded slavery was just fine, too.

Oh please. Don't to intellectualize the post I responded to. He basically said, "well, that's your opinion, but soon it's gonna be legal and there's nothing you can do about it!" followed by some weird sarcastic remark about saving me. What I said was a valid response, and it wasn't that since we've always discriminated that it's okay now. For one thing, I don't think it's discrimination, and second, it's not a fallacious argument from popularity for me to say most people who have weighed in feel the same way I do, so it's not just "my opinion" as if I've crafted some unique ideas out of whole cloth. And please prove "the majority of people once concluded slavery was just fine, too".
