Is Same Sex Marriage and Interracial Marriage the Same?

Is same sex marriages and interracial marriages the same in terms of the right that a human being have the rights to marry whomever they want? It will go to the Supreme Court and how will it be judged in your opinion? Can we say it's discriminatory to deny same sex marriage as it was interracial marriage?

 

My first though was WHAT!!?? Then I recalled that not long ago, its was illegal to marry IR.
I hope it passes.
I dont care of two men or two women get married, let them for crying out loud.
I think its discriminatory.

 

:smt009For me personally, to equate same-sex marriage with the equal-rights movement or IR marriage is offensive.

I don't really have an interest if people are gay or not. Don't really care. However, I don't recognize it as the same as marriage between and man and a woman.

That's me.

 

Agreed, let them, more women for moi, lol, I know it is selfish of me. Honestly tho who da fuk cares in this day and age who marrys who, who fucks who, or who sucks who. As far as I am concerned, the mayor of Frisco can lick a dog's ass and have a donkey do him on the back, i dont give a shit, for real.

 

Marriage is marriage, be it interracial or gay or lesbian or even boring old monoracial straight (lame ) . It's a human right.

 

i can't even believe that it's an issue. what two consenting adults do behind closed doors is their own business. i have both gay & lesbian friends who are fighting to have the same rights that we take for granted....it's disgraceful

 

In terms of legality and rights then yes. You can not take the rights of people or a small segment of people away. This prop 8 was and is unconstitutional.

Yes, We can say it is discriminatory to deny same sex marriage as it was interracial marriage. The supreme court will rule that it is unconstitutional to take away the rights of the American citizen.

 

Not only that but Im convinced that many people simply didnt acctually read exactly how it was worded.
If you said "Yes" to Prop 8, you voted against gay marriage and at the time, I think a lot of people just didnt get that and thus inadvertently voted against gay marriage when the acctually mean to vote for gay marriage.

I know quite a few that voted and never really read it - they thought NO was againts gay marriage and yes was for gay marriage.

 

horrified to admit...was watching kathy griffin the other week and they talked about that same thing

 

Ive been saying this since day 1. I refuse to believe that the majority of CA is against gay marriage - that doesnt make any sense at all, I mean really...

Its just lately that some people I know have started talking about how they voted and openly admitted that they didnt read how it was worded.

 

well from some of the people they went door to door to...they were against same sex marriage...i think mainly because of religious reasons (shakes head):smt012

 

Well baby-boo, many of us who support traditional marriage base our value-systems on our faith, which is just as important to us as those who may not have a faith.

A lot of people comment about it being legal or illegal. The reality is, and I believe clarity is needed here, there is no law for or against it currently. When it comes to establishing law, 'precedent' plays a major part of it. Whether you support it or not, precedent is what's going to determine the direction.

Now, all we have to do is legalize my ability to marry both you and Schnookums.

 

lets all move to utah

 

IM IN!!!!

 

There was no law for or against interracial marriage. That did not stop the states from arresting ms. loving. If there is no law against it then it is legal for gay people to get married. There are laws for it in certain states.

 

:smt043I'm already passing through Colorado...

 

:neutral:Admittedly, I'm not an expert on all state laws, let alone during that time period. However, I believe a good number of states had laws against IR marriage.

In Ms Lovings case, I dunno. This was the case in WV, correct?

Many states of that time unabashedly broke or ignored laws when it came to race. IR & same-sex is apples and oranges.

 

wait for me....wait for me....!!!

 

It isn't actually apple and oranges but more like green apple to red apple. They are taking away a person's rights simply because they are different. We have seen this happen with black people before. You can't take away people's rights simply because they are different than the majority. Not only that, gay marriages are being handled just like interracial marriages where they are being recognized slowly state by state.

 

I got curious what states acctually had laws against IR marriage and I wasnt really surprised by what I found.
