While it is easy to take offense to the comparison (as Rush did), there is some truthfulness in it.

Bull.

There are cultural issues in interracial marriages (I speak from first-hand experience in relating to my sister and her husband), but they do NOT compare to same-gendered relationships in any way, shape or form.

While I don't like the idea of amending the Constitution (I think this is better left to the states), this is an issue that won't go away.

There are too many leftists who fall into the trap of trying to compare those relationships and the percieved "discrimination" with them to the very real discrimination that I have faced in my past as a black man. It is insulting at best to make the comparison.

If two guys (or girls for that matter), wanna get up close and personal, that's their business (and better left behind their closed doors). But I'm not going to pretend to want to sanction it just to satisfy the liberals' misbegotten sense of self-guilt.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

what makes me MOST angry about the so-called "gay movement" is that they want the "freedom" to don things in public that you & i would get jailed for with a person of the opposite sex.

their "pee in" was nauseating!

Well said Michael.

A caller to Rush Limbaugh today (Friday) compared gay marriage to inter-racial marriage. While it is easy to take offense to the comparison (as Rush did), there is some truthfulness in it.

No difference between gay and inter-racial marriage???

We report, you decide.

I too have made that comparison in the past but I like your argument against it. Thanks.
