I'm saying that anything as universal as marriage, understood to be the culturally legitimized uniting of male and female, expressed as such absolutely everywhere and always, should not be changed in our major modern culture just because a few small oddball depraved cultures over the last few millennia have sort of/kind of/maybe/almost married homosexuals.
OK, that's your personal, religious opinion about what should or shouldn't be done, but that has nothing to do with the "cultures haven't recognized it in the past, therefore no culture ever should now or in the future" argument of yours.
You were arguing that the fact that a certain aspect of a culture was a certain way for a long time was reason enough to preserve that aspect. That is not a valid reason.
