A Fine Argument for Gay Marriage, but a Flawed Legal Opinion
The parallel is that the definition you give, was not the case when interracial marriage was before the courts.
At that time, the conservative would have included “of the same race”…. or maybe even “of the same species”, as many Christians than hung on to the Biblical prohibition against bestiality (Blacks being a different species). Of course it was all rubbish, to the point where even you can state that interracial marriage is the norm. But have a sense of history!
The VAST MAJORITY of people in many states found it disgusting! They were wrong. Civil rights are not at all dependent on the whim of the majority — to think they should be is undemocratic and unAmerican.
