For two reasons.

1. The human tradition sucks. Slavery was a widely accepted practice for most of human history. Also treating women like property. We should no obligation to do things the way things have always been done just because that's the way they've always been done.

2. Secondly, It's not like we've been debating gay marriage for a millennial and the supreme court is stepping in now to end the debate. Lesbianism has only been recognized as a THING very recently (the term is less than 150 years old). Homosexuals in general have been considered non-entities or deviants for most of human history to the extent that they have even been considered at all. We've only recently moved beyond that thinking so once we decide that homosexuals aren't deviants we immediately have to start discussing a lot of other questions that arise out of that revelation. Questions like gay marriage and whether it's acceptable to try and "cure" someone of homosexuality. The flood gates are open, can't close them now.
