as of 1967, 16 states had laws that forbade white people from marrying black people.
How does the state look at its populous with a straight face and tell them who they can or cant marry. It's fundamentally wrong.
People with love in their hearts, god knows there isn't enough of it in the world, just want the SAME rights as everyone else. Not special rights, not special treatment. But merely the opportunity to enjoy some of lifes greatest pleasures. true love. what could possibly be wrong with that?
I dont like the image of two men having sex as much as anyone else, but what I do like, ney love, is the idea that two people can find one another and overcome what must be unthinkably hard obstacles along the way and yet still persevere and share their lives with someone.
Not to mention the real fundamental problem here isnt gay marriage, its gay sex. But as anyone married long enough will tell you, the best way to prevent 2 people from having sex with one another is to marry them.
Everyone can and will believe whatever they choose, I'm certainly not going to change minds. But lets just remember that this is about people. and love. and rights.
The state cannot make a law for some, while excluding others, its the 14th amendment. there is no "separate but equal" it is all just equal.
