I think it is defined as "between a man and a woman"
Not between races.


Wow, that was a big twist to get to your agenda.
I'm impressed!

Glad to see Stormfront is active again, pushing their agenda.

I guess you didn't see the judge had been stripped of his robe for that stunt.

Should there be votes on whether to ban interracial marriage?

An article snippet in 2009:

(AP) NEW ORLEANS A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.
"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."




So, if gay marriage is banned for not being natural. Shouldn't interracial marriage be banned for not being natural (in the sense that it's not common and such)?

How would ya'll feel if interracial marriage was banned?
If interracial marriage was banned, I would be thoroughly angry. Who's business is it which race your spouse is?

It was only 20 years ago that a majority of Americans began to approve of interracial marriage.

Most Americans Approve of Interracial Marriages

It's interesting how people now are outraged by the idea that it could have been illegal.

And in 30 years people will say that about gay marriage. Like I said in my previous post, it is a work in progress regardless the level of opposition. I dont have to approve of gay marriage to accept the fact that it will be commonplace soon enough. Time changes everything.

Wrong. I am outraged at the notion of NOW banning interracial marriages. Isn’t that the premise of the OP?

This says it all.

And btw, two people regardless of race can mate and reproduce so obviously it is 'natural'. Not that I am against gay marriage either, but the whole premise of the OP is so stupid.

I didn't say that EVERYBODY is outraged, and I wasn't directing my comments toward you. (I don't even know who you are.)

I was just pointing out the fact that public attitudes can change quickly.

It is truely insulting that gays continue to use blacks for their agenda. Skin color is not a sexual behavior.
