Slavery isnt a tradition. Slavery restricted the freedoms of black people. Marriage doesnt restrict anyone's freedom. Gay people can be together, live together, have sex with each other, kiss and hold hands in public, go anywhere they wish and do anything they want. They can seek marital benefits and i hope they get them. They can even come up with a new name for their union and celebrate that, but they dont have to change the current tradition of marriage. Theyre not seeking equal rights, theyre seeking to change something that others hold sacred. Gay people arent asking for their own union ceremony, theyre asking to uproot the current one. If gay people had their own union and the government refused to give it equal rights and benefits of marriage, that would be wrong.

If you want to tomahawk chop, go to Florida State. If you want to Gator chomp, go to Florida. Dont go to Florida and tell them to change their tradition. You dont have to step on someone else's freedom to obtain your own.

The limitation of freedom is when it restricts someone else's freedom.
