good video, but interracial marriage isn't the same as gay marriage, sorry

[cory9214]

This isn't saying that the two are synonymous. It is highlighting the fact that many of the arguments used against interracial marriage are being used against gay marriage. Sorry, but it sounds like you're saying that both racism and homophobia aren't forms of discrimination.

well said

Wow i loved this

Just because they used the same arguments is extremely irrelevant.

Interracial marriage was designed to keep races apart, which is a form of segregation, which is unconstitutional. Race is not a fundamental aspect of marriage, but gender is. Interracial marriage did not try to redefine marriage (unlike gay marriage). It means that males can marry females regardless of race, and THAT is a basic civil right.

Great video.. really well done.. I too am canadian and just wanna say that nothing changed when we legalized it.. the big thing that i think made it get huge support was that a clause was put in to protect churches that didn't want to perform gay marriages.. no churches were sued for turning away gay couples which makes sense to me.. government should stay out of gods house and god should stay out of the governments house

This was wonderful...and you're right, notloc28, I almost stopped watching it, but I got through. I love your message. My parents are lesbians, and without them, I would have grown up a foster child. It kills me that they don't have the right to marry each other when they are the two kindest, wisest, and most caring people I've ever met...please continue to spread your words of peace and tolerance...

Excellent! If you REALLY want to protect marriage, make divorce illegal. Peace.

I've been married for 35 years

to my best friend, lover, and wife.

It's been the greatest joy of my life

and I want everyone to have that opportunity.

I live in Canada, where gay marriage is perfectly legal,

and I assure you that gay marriage has not cost me a thing.

Gay marriage has not diminished my marriage one bit.

I hope many, many gay people AND straight people

experience the stability and refuge and joy

that marriage has brought to my life.

Pretty well done. :]

The end was a little corny, but the overall video was amazing.

I just wish our nation would wake up, and realize it's not "us and them" it's "We."
