<P>I understood what you wrote just fine but you didn't get what I wrote or either you don't want to talk about it. What you wrote about isn't about a man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman just different races. What I mean is that it's not marriage if the same sexes say they're married at all. You didn't say anything about what I wrote before about the aclu wanting to use a same sex marriage to say it's ok for those people down in utah to have like four or five wives that's what this gay marriage is gonna end up making ok. They use one thing like man marrying a man to mean its ok for these people to marry four or five at a time.<BR><BR></P>

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.
