What those who want to prohibit marriage equality are trying to do is to legally exclude anyone who doesn't practice their version of monogamy, which has NOTHING whatsoever to do with Biblical definitions of marriage, but with our supposed European cultural traditions -- and even then, their beliefs and traditions do really reflect the actual practices of historic Europe, which included child marriage.
The one thing we are not going to return to is an unequal heterosexual definition of marriage where women have no rights to say no, which IS the Biblical traditional marriage. I can only imagine the shock and horror of the religious right at the idea of adding concubines to their uptight little traditional heterosexual families.
This should go a long way to educate the right wing ignorant:

You have definitely not read the Bible. You are ignorant of what the Bible teaches and are a cut and paste parrot. Have you ever wondered why the so called idiots you talk of stopped using all but one of these examples? But using your examples there is not one example of same sex marriage presented. Doggone it!
