Surely you recognise that people can value things for other reasons than tradition? I married my husband to show my love and commitment to him. I don't think the state should privilege married couples over unmarried ones.
I've just had the conversation too many times. It's tedious. I do think marriage is an emotional thing - about loving commitment - rather than a rational one - linking families or producing children to run your farm - now but that doesn't make equal rights irrational.

Actually, now, never mind. I'm no longer interested.
