"Because tradition" is a cop-out. It's not a real reason. And traditions change over time.
Why does he think that the strictly traditional definition is correct? Why doesn't the traditional definition include same-sex marriages? Why shouldn't it now? If he is OK with same-sex couples, why is he not cool if they get married?
