I don't know what culture you're from, but culture is people, and support for gay marriage has increased massively in countries around the world, and is probably the majority in western Europe and North and South America. If by culture you mean "how things have always been done" then that's saying that public opinion never changes, and that slavery should never have been abolished, women never given the vote etc. Times change, and happily my culture at least is far less homophobic, racist and sexist than it used to be even 30 years ago. There are sadly still areas that are still very homophobic (parts of eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, for example), but overall the momentum is in the right direction.
