In one word, GKC would have said "no."
But he left this wonderful passage instead:
"Tradition means giving a vote to most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead.
"Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death. Democracy tells us not to neglect a good man's opinion, even if he is our groom; tradition asks us not to neglect a good man's opinion, even if he is our father."
There are other reasons to say "no" to homosexual "marriage." But the "T" word is a damn good one.
