What is that purpose and how is it "contradicted?"
It might seem like a silly question, but I just don't want to put words in your mouth and provide a rebuttal for an argument you haven't made. It's rude.
The difference sis that only two of those things were correct. There have been plenty of societies which have allowed interracial marriage, not so with gay marriage.
Procreation. Sodomy is not conducive to procreation.
So perhaps if every society in the history of the world (including societies which accepted homosexuality) thought something so ridiculous as to never even consciously consider it, perhaps there's a reason for that.
Procreation. Sodomy is not conducive to procreation.
Marriage is just one of the government intrusions into our private lives.
Except every society in the history of the world did not reject same sex couples getting married. In fact, many societies allowed it in the past. Just because you wish to reject history doesn't mean that you are right.
Name one.
Do you oppose gay marriage?
Why did you run and hide from the question? Did you choose not to get married?

The government isn't intruding in my life by recognizing my marriage to my husband. In fact, that recognition comes with a heck of a lot of benefits. And it is recognition that those entering into a marriage ask for. It isn't like the government forces you to get married.
I'm posing the same question you did, because you know damn good-n-well what I meant.
You said marriage was a government intrusion into your life. Asking if you chose not to get married is a logical question to follow from that.
Marriage is an example of government intrusion, i.e. government banning gay marriage is example of too much government intrusion in our private lives. You know damn well what I meant. You're just being argumentative.
Just shows what a lousy job the supreme court did. This should be settled law. This is a tremendous waste of time and money to have to go through this in very state. Does anyone think that a federal court will ever come to a different conclusion?
Bahahahahahah! You're so furious that they're giving gays equal rights that you're calling for their heads. Jesus ****ing christ you must really hate gays.
Two points of rebuttal:Procreation. Sodomy is not conducive to procreation.
1) While procreation is certainly a common aspect of marriage, it is not a requirement. We allow elderly or otherwise infertile couples to marry, and we allow couples to stay married even if they have no interest in procreating.
2) Allowing same-sex couples to marry does not hinder procreation. A same-sex couple isn't going to suddenly decide to be heterosexual and go have children just because you prevent them from marrying each other.
You did not say that and I am not a mind reader. So what you really meant is that banning SSM was government intrusion, not what you actually said?
I'll name several well known ones. Ancient Greece, Rome, some areas of China, Mesopotamia, plus the earlier pagan tribes of Western Europe and the British Isles, along with some Native American tribes and even some African tribes.
Know your logical fallacies. This one is Appeal to Tradition Fallacy.
Should the US completely rearrange every aspect of its government? Why not?
The government doesn't allow gays to marry, though. Right? Wouldn't you agree that shows too much government intrusion I marriage?
Show a reliable source.
No. I would say that there is a big difference between government intrusion and government unfairness. Your argument is like saying that if the government only allows boys to be claimed as legal children they are being too intrusive into our lives. Those two things have nothing to do with each other. It means the government is being unfair, not too intrusive.
