"the government already allows marriages that some find offensive to their religious sensibilities (interracial marriage..."

What religion, pray tell, finds interracial marriages offensive?

Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism don't find it offensive. Buddhism is ok with it. Maybe Shinto, since it's primarily ancestor worship? I've seen interracial Sikh couples, hmmm - even interracial Muslim couples. I wonder what religion you're thinking of?

Judge Leon Bazile seemed to think that interracial marriages were religiously offensive:

"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."
