No, not so easy...
No, I said they have the same privilege as people of the same color when it comes to marriage.
Marriage is the union of a people of the same color (IT HAS NEVER BEEN SO DEFINED), it's not prohibited to blacks, and blacks are allowed to marry other blacks.
The right and privilege to marry is the same for both.
Before 1964, and passage of the CRA, these were valid arguments, which is why interracial marriage was not permitted. Think about it, for 200 years before this, our country did not allow interracial marriages. Now, if it is so abundantly clear by the constitution that this is wrong, why did it take so long to change it? Well, it's because the interpretation of the constitution simply didn't apply to people of color in many cases, there was nothing in the Constitution prohibiting discrimination based on race.
Now..... Imagine someone had come along before 1964 and the CRA, and tried to have the courts mandate interracial marriage into existence, against the will of the people? Do you think there might have been a backlash? If some judge back in 1950, had ruled interracial marriage as law of the land, he would have probably been lynched. People were certainly lynched for much less. The point is, it took many years and a lot of struggle to get passage of the CRA, and it was because of this that much of the injustice and discrimination was lifted. It wasn't simply rammed down the throat of society against it's will by a judge, because liberals thought it was a good idea, it had to follow a course.
Homosexuality is not a race. It is not covered in the CRA. People who are homosexual have the same Constitutional rights as everyone else, no right is being denied to them. What you want is to hijack traditional marriage and call same sex unions the same thing, and they aren't. You want society, and more specifically, the government, to sanction and condone homosexuality, because you believe this will somehow legitimize the behavior in society. What you fail to understand is, society can't be forced to accept what they aren't ready to accept, and continuing to try and force that on them, will result in backlash and eventual rejection.
I've said this for years, gay people would be much better off if liberals and pro gay marriage idiots would shut the fuck up, and work with moderates toward some kind of civil unions legislation. In a matter of a decade, gay couples could be enjoying any and all benefits of their traditional counterparts, living their lives happily ever after.... but naaawwww.... we gotta start up another mammoth marathon thread and beat the same dead horse and throw up the same tired old strawmen arguments on interracial marriage, and never get anything accomplished... why? Because this is part of the left wing liberal agenda and war on traditional culture. Why are we not surprised to find Yurtster plopped comfortably down in the middle of it?
