Letter to the Editor: Redefining Marriage

The issue of gay marriage can trace its roots to the same argument used to strike down the ban against interracial marriages, which was also based on the idea of a union between consenting adults.

If interracial marriages are allowed between consenting adults, then why are gays discriminated against simply because of the so-called open minded consent between adults to join together in matrimonial union? But let's think this through one more step.

[Torie]

What a novel and original and clever argument. State licensed gay marriage will ineluctably lead to state licensed polygamous marriages. Ludicrous.

There are moral absolutes many will never understand until it is too late.

[Theodore R.]

Ludicrous.

That's what the popular Hubert H. Humphrey said in 1964, when he was asked if his Civil Rights Bill could lead to reverse discrimination against whites to atone for the past decades of segregation. HHH said that he would "eat the bill" if that ever happened. Yet, it was already happening by the time HHH died in early 1978.

[RISU]

Homosexual marriage is something that should be left between a man and a woman!
