So as a homophobic and intolerant person towards gay people, of course it is completely fine to keep old traditions. Being gay or straight isn't a choice, so maybe put yourself in the shoes of a gay person. What are your options? Pretend to be straight to appease people that hate you, or have less rights?

Being tolerant towards homosexuality is one thing, and recognizing homosexual marriage as a regular marriage is another. Please don't confuse between the two. Personally, I don't care what the gays do in their privacy. But the problem arises when they want to have homosexual orgies in the public, and gay pride parades in the metro cities.

Where are you seeing gay orgies in public? I live in Toronto, which is one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world, and I haven't seen any gay orgies in public. I haven't even seen any straight orgies in public either. And both are illegal.

We have a pride parade one weekend each year and people don't take offense to this. In fact lots of straight people go and show their support, and it's a good time. It's a celebration to be able for people with differences to be accepted into society, because it simply can't happen in many parts of the world.

There's also a strong correlation between the top cities in the world to live in, and top gay friendly cities.

But going back to gay marriage, if you don't care about what they do in their privacy, their marriage will be private. It's not like you're going to be involved with it in any way. It basically affects their taxes, which is a completely private matter.

It is not private anymore, when activists around them demand recognition of family status without actually starting a family. Then it is public affair by definition.

Also see this:

Social justice warrior: A pejorative term for an individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on social justice on the Internet, often in a shallow or not well-thought-out way, for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation. A social justice warrior, or SJW, does not necessarily strongly believe all that they say, or even care about the groups they are fighting on behalf of. They typically repeat points from whoever is the most popular blogger or commenter of the moment, hoping that they will "get SJ points" and become popular in return. They are very sure to adopt stances that are "correct" in their social circle.

You really think that a private certificate with the city turns a relationship public? I don't think someone with that certificate will be a public affair vs. not having the certificate.

Are you suggesting that I'm a social justice warrior? This is the internet bro, and my identity is not being revealed so I'm not getting any points. In fact it's not even a popular opinion since most people that post here are homophobic. Perhaps I could be speaking out of my ass, and not give a shit per your definition. To be honest I don't think anyone's opinion is going to change here. But I live in one of the most gay-friendly and multicultural cities in the world, which is one of the top cities to live in. I have gay friends, who are really good and honestly people. 2 weeks ago I went to pride with all straight friends. It's just a city that has progressed past this, to the point that it's not much of an issue anymore. Most parts of the world haven't reached that point and still have pride in their hatred for a stranger. I am also lucky in that I've got to travel a decent amount, which again increases tolerance and sheds localized culture.

Just look at gay friendly cities and best cities to live in. Increased civil liberty makes for a better life in general. Look at the people posting that gay relationships and marriage is an abomination. Then look at where they live. Then look at how many people are waiting to immigrate there.
