Re: If a man states I favor tradiional marriage does that make him a bigot or a homop
We've been redefining it for 5000 years.
Up until 200 years ago, the woman never had a say in it.
Self-marriage was all the rage for a time.
You should read this book.

What does the "tradition of marriage" really look like? In A History of Marriage, Elizabeth Abbott paints an often surprising picture of this most public, yet most intimate, institution. Ritual of romance, or social obligation? Eternal bliss, or cult of domesticity? Abbott reveals a complex tradition that includes same-sex unions, arranged marriages, dowries, self-marriages, and child brides. Marriage—in all its loving, unloving, decadent, and impoverished manifestations—is revealed here through Abbott's infectious curiosity.
