I myself do not. And on my inlaws side there is interracial marriages, and my nieces and nephews on that side, are just too beautiful, i sincerely mean that. And great sucessful children.
I myself find ignorance in anyone who comapres the two, for either is really none of their business, and should not be compared to each other. Worry about your own life, and those who are decent and law abiding citizens, should be able to lead their life, without busy bodies.
Ignorance breeds hatred of racisim, and also not understanding gay people and therefore have to belittle them, i think people just need to concern themselves with themselves. and their own families. Perpertuating a comparison of the two, is just plain ignorant.
Also, a lot of the same people who say the debate on gay marriage is NOTHING like the debate on interracial marriage, will then turn around and compare gay marriage to having sex with a dog.
That's right. Comparing marriage to marriage makes no sense, but comparing marriage to beastiality -- Yep!
I've never heard about gays and sex with dogs. Is this common or just a rumor?

It's ignorant to realize (or at least to argue) that both interracial marriage bans and same-sex marriage bans are both unconstitutional and for the exact same legal rationale? Really?

It is common enough.

In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality.
They are exactly the same in principle: one group imposing their subjective morality on another group. No one is trying to prevent lutherans from marrying baptists, because we understand the notion of equality. It's a very simple concept, really.

If you're able, please take a moment to explain why equating them is ignorant?

Not really. One is based on denial based on race, which was attached to other restrictions placed on African Americans pre-Civil Rights movement. The other is denial based on sexual orientation.
One redefines marriage; the other doesn't.
I used to be pretty anti-gay marriage, but I now have more of a "Let them have their rights too" stance. I still don't agree with it, but I realize that my personal beliefs should not serve as a form of oppression for others.

Huh? Allowing interracial couples to marry certainly did redefine marriage - it redefined it to allow interracial marriage, something it previously did not include.

See Hammertime33's response. Marriage was being redefined by letting blacks marry whites, because before that marriage was defined as not marrying interracially. They changed the definition so blacks could marry whites.
Now, we're changing the definition of marriage again, and this is a good thing. It's called progress, the same reason why women can vote now.
