But here's the thing, that "limit of acceptability" is changing, it's moving. That's not because of me or because of you, it's because of what is now a majority of Americans who are saying and believing something different.
You see marriage as a different thing than most people do, okay, so everyone else should follow your narrow vision? That's my point right there, people view marriage differently from person-to-person. There's no way to prove that "traditional marriage" is inherently right. Just because it's what has dominated society for thousands of years doesn't mean it's inherently correct. This is something even pro-slavery folks would have said too, "it's the tradition, so it's inherently right".
That is the crux of the matter. In a government for and by the people when the people change the government changes. I hold that tradition for marriage is between a man and a woman but I don't hold that tradition cannot change. People steadfastly against gay marriage are going to lose the battle.
