  • Wait a minute here. Procreation is one aspect of marriage but marriage has other aspects such as companionship, romantic love, cohabitation, commitment, etc. Should gay people be barred from marriage because they cannot partake in one aspect of marriage? If so should the infertile also be barred from marriage?

  • 1:04-1:21

    Uh-oh...someone seems to be having problems with their syllogisms.

  • Loving vs. Virginia stated, "Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."

    At that time many equated interracial sex to bestiality and stated it was against god - not so different from gay sex arguments.

  • Additionaly and more importantly, infertile couples, handicapped couples that are incapable of procreating, people past procreative years, and couples who choose not to procreate are all able to legally marry. If the difference between interracial couples and gay couples is procreative capability and this determines their qualification to get married, then the non-procreative heterosexual couples listed earlier should not be able to marry either.

  • Finally,

    Maybe upon further inspection, the difference between interracial couples and gay couples is more similar than dissimilar.

    Many of the same arguments have been made.

    The only real difference is time - Loving vs. Virginia was 40 years ago, and many people seem to have forgotten ( or never knew ) the arguments that were made against interracial so many years ago.

    It truly is a case of history repeating.

  • @moor4348 if you Go to Wikipedia and type in Baker v. Nelson, The case will show you that the same court in Loving v Virginia not only distinguished same sex marriage from interracial marriage, but established it as a right that does not exist under the constitution and never did.

    so the 14th amendment does not confer a RIGHT to gay marriage anymore than it does for polygamy
