Not if your family is considered unconventional. But yes, you can definitely have both if the traditional way of life suits you. I just don't really see the point of traditions in general, they're just remnants of past that are at best useless, at worst regressive.
I thumbed it up because I dislike it when people downvote without presenting arguments (in fact I never downvote, when I disagree with someone I reply to them).
Good point. In this situation, though, you have to admit that being gay is not considered "traditional".
Tbh I always cringe when someone speaks about "traditional values" or "traditional family" because I know they're really talking about straight people with a few kids, with the mother being a jobless housewife and the father having some 9 to 5 job to feed them all. But I'm probably quite biased because I've grown tired of people telling me how to live my life for no other reason than "it's tradition". It really seems to me like "tradition" and "living your own life" don't fit together very well. But then again English isn't my native language, maybe my tradition and your tradition have a slightly different meaning/connotation.
I will admit that homosexuality has been around forever, hence traditional. :D
It has just been taboo, so I can see why some might think it is something new.
Ha, got me there. It has been around forever, yet equal rights for homosexuals are pretty recent, and not a thing everywhere on the planet. What I meant was, you wouldn't see a kid with two dads 50 years ago, which is why it's still mostly considered, well, not traditional. Or at least being open about it.
But it also gives a brand a very good imagine to open minded people
Also gay marriage kind of is our tradition
Good luck not getting your extra large coke with your McDonald's combo you fat ignorant close minded pieces of shit!
You can have both if you don't put stock in your family's negativity and live your own life.
