Hopefully in the near future, this banning of gay-marraiges and "civil union only" nonsense will be viewed on a similar level as the "seperate-but-equal" crap that was spewed out before the civil rights movement.
Parellels can easily be made between the treatment of blacks 50 years ago and the treatment of gays today. For instance, 50 years ago, the black representtaion on TV was highly stereotypical. Today, we have "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"--a minstrel show that essentially reduces gays to sheer novelty.
The major difference, of course, is that there is no dispute over one's blackness. No argument can be made that blackness is simply a disorder or a result of confusion.
