Of course they're hypocritical..., it was pretty much implied (said actually) in my post.
Legal marriage and the legal benefits that it entails should be expanded to everyone; to do less is to show ignorance, prejudice and idiocy. But then, my voice is nothing compared to the idiots who run the place, and I've learnt to accept them for who and what they are, i.e., social sheep who're afraid of that which they don't know.

That is fair enough then.

No. It's a perfectly reasonable opinion. Are you one of those liberals that think tradition and culture are worthless, unless it's that of some third-world ethnic group who you want to let walk all-over you in your own country?
Tradition is worthless if it's only for the sake of tradition. If it's a tradition that makes sense then yes, keep it. But not just because it's traditional. Give me one good reason why I should not be able to marry a woman?

The good ol' days, where we stone sheep 'cause she was raped.... Where we hang people for stealing a loaf of bread to feed the starving....
Logic don't compute.

Stuff
Whatever floats your boat; it doesn’t affect me at all, so I don't care if you marry a donkey; and please tell me, how does it affect my life if you marry a donkey or not? I guess I’m too “progressive” for most.
"Justice", "laws" and "flaws" change constantly with the status quo, it has nothing to do with perceived "tradition", if tradition were all it's made to be they'd still be executing infidels in the courtyard for daring to question illogical statements of subjective stupidity that's wrapped in the objective majority. It has everything to do with moral “progress” and intellectual musings.... If you cannot see this, whose fault is it, the “flaws” or the flawed “laws”?
Marriage itself, the meaning itself will change with the environment; the environment doesn't care for the meaning we place on companionship; if you're afraid of those "flawed" people partaking in what you hold "dear", call it what it is: legal companionship that gives everyone the same benefits; not just the majority who cannot see anything other than their own view.
I believe that we should ban autistic individuals like me from marrying, I may “pass” it on if I procreate via religions’ rules; we cannot have that! It’s even worse than gay people marrying; they cannot even pass it on!

It will. And in an environment where vociferous leftists didn't get the opportunity to force their every whim on us as regards how our language is used, marriage would mean one man and one women.
But isn't that the point of democratic society; going by tradition that is…? The majority turns to the minority overnight due to “progress” (whether you agree with it or not), and the majority that is tomorrow turns to the majority yesterday....
Majority still rules..., it doesn't mean they're "right", and neither does it mean that you're "right" either when you're the oppressed minority. Both can be wrong if they arrived to their conclusion via erroneous intertextual interpretation, rather than introspective musing that's objective and gentle to everyone.
