Marriage is a state-recognized union.  In WI's case, they are clearly identifying it as a union between only a man and a woman, as it has been for centuries. 

Inter-racial marriage was also prohibited for centuries until about 40-50 years ago.  Who cares how it's been for centuries?

Murder and incest have also been prohibited for centuries....but hey, who's counting?

I didn't say that tradition was inherently bad, only that it is not inherently good.

In other words, you had no point.

No, I think what had no point was the defense of banning gay marriage because that's the way it's "been for centuries."
