At one point <BR>> in this country not so long ago (around 1950), many <BR>> states outlawed interracial marriages...something like <BR>> 38 states banned them. Some had bans within their <BR>> state constitutions. The reason why I bring this up <BR>> is that it is a direct parallel to banning same sex <BR>> marriage. <BR>> <BR>> Roughly 60 years ago in this country, interracial <BR>> marriages were banned. A black man marrying a white <BR>> woman was illegal. A white man marrying a black woman <BR>> was illegal. You claim this isn't the same thing as a <BR>> man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman. Why? <BR>> If at one point, there were laws against interracial <BR>> marriage and same sex marriage, what's the difference? <BR>> They were both considered illegal marriages. <BR>> <BR>> Married can mean between a man and a woman. However, <BR>> same sex couples in a civil union deserve the exact <BR>> same rights as married couples. <BR>> <BR>> -Scott <BR>> <BR>> --- donald toogood <DTOOGOOD@EMAIL.COM>wrote: <BR>> <BR>> > Black men and white women or white women and black <BR>> > men marrying isnt' a <BR>> > man marrying a man or a woman marrying woman.It's <BR>> > different.
