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.

The simple difference between being gay and being a minority is that being a minority is NORMAL.

We can still be friends with, and happily live nearby, and hire the abnormal, but that doesn't make them normal.

I searched specifically for a thread like this one. My husband and I are also "interracially married", and we too are insulted by the comparison. I'm glad to see that most Freepers recognize the difference.

I saw the S.F. mayor on Larry King the other night. When Musgrave asked him if legalized polygamy will be next, he dismissed her argument as a "red herring". Yet, he and others consistently compare gay marriage to interracial marriage, and the mainstream media seems to accept that comparison.

I can think of only one other group besides white liberals that equates gay couples with interracial couples, and that's the white supremecists - they see us in the same light as white liberals do. Quite revealing, imho.

Thanks for posting your comments.
