“It wasn’t ‘traditional’ for us to drink out of water fountains that white people drink from or to go to schools with them,” the submit continued. “It wasn’t considered traditional for my parents and grandparents to vote. Many people died and sacrificed for these basic rights to actually access these traditions.”
“So when we hear the words ‘traditional’ marriage to describe only one type of marriage, it belittles the love and commitment that many legally married people have for each other,” the assertion went on, “and it triggers many of us to a time that we remember how the word ‘tradition’ was cloaked in Christianity and we were basically told that God didn’t want equality for all. Pretty sure God wants us to be happy in safe, loving, loyal, and committed marriages and relationships…”
