I am attempting to explain why. My view is that tradition is the foundation for the concept of marriage and that tradition disallows homosexual unions. This is my opinion. |
I understand that you are stating your view of your traditions. I have no argument with that. I rejoice that you have the freedom to practice your traditions and hope that your family will be able to do so for as many generations as it wishes to. Please explain to me why you wouldn't want others to do the same even if they do not share your particular traditions. And I fail to see why this has anything to do with what traditions are practiced by the majority and those that are not. In a land of freedom it shouldn't matter a bit as long as there is freedom for everyone. But as I see it you are not content to have freedom for yourself, you will not be happy unless you deny it to those that do not share your particular traditions, majority or no majority. You do your handle a great dishonor.
