Chairboy, I dunno why inter-racial marriages were illegal. Personally I see nothing wrong with them (even though my dad just about has a coronary every time he see's a white man with a black woman or a black man with a white woman, but he's just wierd:D ).
I view marriage as a union between a man and a woman, race is a non-factor for me. Inter-racial marriages were still between a Man and a Woman. Homosexual marriages are between 2 men or 2 women.
Websters dictionary gives a definition of marriage as....see marry heh, the definition of marry (according to websters) is: to unite, take, or give in wedlock; to enter into matrimony. marriage the legal union of husband and wife; the ceremony, civil or religious, by which two people of the opposite sex become husband and wife.
Leviticus 18:22, You shall not lie with mankind as with womankind. It is abomination to God. (Modern King James Version) I have 8 different translations of the Bible on my hard drive atm, most use the term abomination, one uses perversion, and another uses the term confusion.
Chairboy, its the man/man or woman/woman union that makes all the difference to me. Those two unions are not included in the definition of marriage according to America's most famous dictionary.
More later.
