Do you believe in the evolution of homoerectus?

I am fagishly tired of the gay marriage debate. No one has the right to force their belief on others, so why is this an issue? How long ago did we forget that marriage is a changing, evolving thing? Way back in the day men would take multiple wives, who were pretty much slaves to their every whim. 300 years ago, marriage was a business deal between the fathers of the bride and groom to be. It was more of an economic arrangement than a glorious union of love. In the early 1900's, American society decided that marriage was what everyone had to do to survive. Wives were submissive, and never spoke their mind. In the '50's, only 9% of Americans believed that a single person could live a happy life. Then the woman's movement came along, and people started marrying purely for love, not necessity.
It's 2010. We are not as ignorant and stupid as we were in the past. Virtually all races know what it feels like to be judged, discriminated against, and treated like subhumans. By now we should have learned to accept people for who they are. If you don't like gay marriage, who gives a shit? Don't get gay married. If someone tried to tell you that you couldn't watch Fox News because it's garbage, you would cherish your right to choose. What you don't have, however, is a right to choose for someone else.
