Do you support the legalization of same sex marriage?
It's actually not marriage! Marriage is a man and a woman faithfully bound in union for life, never…
Many cultures throughout history have had their own unique definitions of marriage, not all of which have included same-sex unions. In fact, the concept of marriage as a romantic union is relatively recent. In many cultures, including some still today, marriages were arranged as strategic or economic alliances, with little to no regard for the feelings of the individuals involved. Therefore, the argument could be made that the traditional definition of marriage is not just between a man and a woman, but specifically for the purpose of procreation and establishing familial ties. How would you respond to that?

The definition doesn’t have to be exclusive, nor should it be for the sake of so many people’s lives. If the definition is this fluid, that sounds like all the more reason to let it reach the widest amount of people. Here’s what I’d consider to be mine: marriage is a union of people into a family that is consented to between them. It could be a union on the basis of tax reasons, love, friendship, or simply to be closer to those people, whether they be one or many above the age of 18. That’s what I’d consider it to be in my eyes, at least on the legal side.
