Interracially Married Couples Insulted By Comparison of Their Relationships to Gay Marriage

Over the past week, I had conversations with two long-time friends who are interracially married, over the ongoing controversy over gay marriage in Massachussetts and San Francisco. One is a next door neighbor in Louisiana, who is a white man married to a Vietnamese woman. The other is a black man from Seattle whom I have known since college, and he is married to a white woman from Alabama, and they are now living in Salt Lake City, Utah (we talked over the phone).

Both men are very conservative Christians and very pro-family, and they feel deeply insulted when they hear their loving, healthy, and normal relationships, being compared to the depravity of homosexual sodomy. And both are raising their children with strong traditionalist family values.

I suggested to both, that if several interracially married couples would speak out publicly, opposing the likening of their relationships to homosexuality, the comparisons that the homosexual activists are making by comparing themselves to interracially-married couples, would be rendered null and void.

Both thought it was a good idea. But they felt that, because interracially married couples still have to endure so much racial prejudice, it would be hard to find couples with the guts to speak out publicly in opposition to the homosexual agenda. My black friend in Utah has had it much worse than my white friend in Louisiana, because his white inlaws in Alabama have never accepted him as part of the family. His wife's parents have never even seen their own daughter's biracial children, and seem to have no interest in ever meeting them.

But I still feel that it is important for interracially married couples to speak out publicly against the homosexual agenda, in order to prevent gay activists from morally blackmailing this country, by accusing their pro-family opponents of bigotry. Such statements from interracially married couples who know real prejudice, would be taken more seriously by moderate swing voters, and help to mobilize them in supporting a constitutional ammmendment defining marriage as a man and a woman.

I have talked to several Democrats from union households as well, and their party's refusal to oppose gay marriage disgusts them even more than it disgusts me.

someone on another post said he was in interracial marriage and I replied that this must really insult him and that I was sorry that he had to endure this sorry comparison

[Spok]

I've always thought it to be offensive the way the left lumps gays and minorities together.

Interracial marriage bans are motivated by racial purity. Their supporters did not want mixed children to dilute the race. Marriage remains an institution to produce and rase children. Skin pigment does not change that fact.

There is no evidence that homosexuals of differnet races were prevented from having orgasms with each other.

An orgasm is not the equivalent of raising a child.

Yes, it's insulting and I'm looking forward to volunteering for the Bush/Cheney New Mexico campaign. I'm the pale half of a white male/black female marriage, and my wife and I are both quite tired of the comparison.

Being against people getting married who are different skin pigmentation is totally bizarre and has no source in the Bible.

Gay marriage versus interracial marriage has only one thing in common ..both were not approved of by the majority of the public.
I'd be livid if I were an interracial couple to be used as an example.I am appalled by the gay use of interracial marriage in this manner.

Marriage is the joining of one man and one woman.

[Mears]

A bit off the subject,but not all interracial marriages suffer the same discrimination as others.Sad but true.

One of my children is in an interracial marriage and they have never had any problems,yet I know that this could be a problem in some cases.

Not all races,or minorities,are treated in the same way.

I was waiting for this to come around. I'm not surprised that interracially married people are tired of being compared to degenerate same-sex couples. This is yet another story you won't see on the alphabet networks (including Fox, which is becoming more liberal by the day).

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

...my wife and I are both quite tired of the comparison.

I can't imagine why that would be. /sarcasm

[Tahts-a-dats-ago]

I am a white male married to a black female. I am very conservative, while my wife considers herself to be in the middle. Neither of us appreciates the comparisons between homosexual marriages and interracial marriages.

I suspect that this issue will end up hurting the Democrats in a way that they'd never consider. Many of their normal everyday supporters (not the lunatics running the Democrat party) are vehemently opposed to the concept of gay marriages. Since most of the black people I know are strongly opposed to gay marriages, I think this issue will harm Democrats with one of their core constituencies - black voters. Blacks do not like being portrayed as something un-natural, nor do they like their strong Christan values to be questioned. If enough black people are made aware of the far Left's stance, the gay marriage issue could seriously harm Democrats. I can't say that such a thing would bother me in the least.

If you believe that homosexuals are hardwired from birth to be gay - then the comparison is more than valid - it is spot on. If you do not believe the 'gay from birth' camp then the comparison is with out merit.

This reminds me of the gays in the military issue when clintoon was running in 92. They compared gays in the military to how blacks used to be discriminated against. I was in the army at the time and was in korea I was on a bus at camp casey and I heard a group of black soldiers complaining about how offended they were of the comparsion between them and gays.

Then the progeny of the former slaves should be really pi$$ed off when they learn that homos are being accorded a higher status than blacks because Congress or the court didn't re-define the word, 'Citizen' as defined in the Constitution to include them the way homos are being included in the re-definition of the word, 'Marriage.'

Why didn't the government re-define the word, 'Citizen' to include blacks? Because the word was already defined and they had to invent a new word for 'Citizen' which had essentially the same meaning. This they did with the 14th Amendment.

What has changed since the Civil War that would influence the government to by-pass the amendment procedure? It's because the homos in government know damn well that an amendment to equate marriage with same-sex unions with a new word would fail.

So the court hijacked the word, "Marriage" and circumvented the amendment process completely.

Marriage is between a man and a woman.It has nothing to do with whether one believes in hardwired from birth homosexuality or chosen homosexuality .

[dirtbiker]

Don't need to get married to have an orgasm........

[ought-six]

What an absolute insult to an interracial couple.

[dirtbiker]

Gay people have the same rights to marry or not to marry that I have.........I, as a male, can marry a female.......just as any gay man can marry a female. And, just as I cannot marry another man, neither can a gay man. What the homos are proposing are new, special "rights" exclusively for themselves!!!!! So, in other words, in order for them to feel "normal", I have to be discriminated against!!!!!!!!!!!!

This whole discussion doesn't make sense. Faggots, by definition, can't mary. They can call what they want, but it is marriage.

Marriage is an ancient formalization of the relationship between a male and a female (in some cultures, more than one female) with two basic gender related issues in mind. First, it gives the males exclusive access to the reproductive capapbility of the female; no constant fights or ceremony to woe her. Second, it helps assure that her children are actually his and, therefore, encourages the investment of his time and resources in protecting and raising them.

This is a no-brainer! You don't simply start calling a bunch of pigeaons ducks just because these pigeons think that ducks get a better deal in life. Allowing fairies to force normal people to redefine an old word just to fit the fairies preferences doen't make sense.
