Parallels between Gay & Intertacial marriages ??

So it seems the battle for the right to get married if you are part of the LGBT "community" is a familiar one. The right for Blacks and Whites to get married was also something that had to be fought for. That fight was won of course, but for many years (up until the 70's) it was illegal, in, many states. for an interracial couple to be married. Texas was one of the last states in the US that finally legalized interracial marriages in 1967. Whats disturbing though is that the same arguments used against those in interracial relationships, are very much the same ones used today against those who LGBT and want to get married.

here are a few:
-arguments about alleged harm to children
-the unnaturalness of the unions
-the importance of tradition
-the need to avoid social strife

Heres something interesting from a source found on the net (btw this is not view and opinion) and I quote:

" It’s especially sad to see black Christians using these arguments. First, it reveals extreme and inexcusable historical ignorance because they have no idea the degree to which they are parroting arguments once used by White Supremacists against their parents and grandparents. Second, it reveals quite a bit of religious ignorance because they don’t recognize the degree to which the arguments of White Supremacists were just as religious in nature as their own arguments against gay marriage. This is why both racial and gay liberation have depended on religious criticism: so long as religion provides the structure and ideology behind oppression, freedom for the oppressed requires undermining support for that religion." 

I'am Jewish myself, a minority, and I'm pretty sure that the same type of arguments were used against marriages of non Jews to Jews. Of course Jews were considered to be Unholy beings (and still are by many). So it seems that History does repeat itself, only this fight will probably last for alot longer ..
