If you see marriage as nothing more than a legal right
I don't.
Most of the rights I enjoy are more than legal rights. I fail to see how that makes it OK to deny gays rights.

you are historically and culturally retarded.
Wow. That would have been quite a good point - if only your premise had been true!
quote:
historically
historically marriage meant a man and a woman of the same race and religion, the woman cannot own her own property, and the man has limited legal right to beat her. So unless your marriage satisfies those criterion, sorry - its not a "traditional" marriage.

See, this is where your "rights" analogy falls apart. Marriage has never been a right, it's always been an institution. Government has never controlled marriage, it's marginally attempted to regulate it sometimes.And the norms of the culture dictate the laws, not vice-versa. If two gays are forced into an arranged marriage in India, is that a right? It doesn't make any sense. Marriage has always been a cultural institution.
