Quote: See my above reply. Society by and far does not hold that inter-racial marriage goes against any value or moral. It does hold that gay marriage violates same.
Actually, according to Gallup polls, almost the same percentage of people accept homosexual relationships as inter-racial relationships -- approximately 65%.
I'm sure we could find other statistics that prove that the same percentage of people also accept and approve of X and Y.
I really don't know why you made this post, as it is not up to your usual quality. It is completley irrelevant.
I'm sorry, I don't see how it's an irrelevant reply to your statement that society finds gay marriage immoral but doesn't find inter-racial relationships the same. If that was the case, there would be a significant difference between the number of people that accept inter-racial relationships and the number of people that accept homosexual relationships.
It's irrelevant because you can easily pick any 2 unrelated issues and say the same % of people feel one way or the other about them. You could pick slavery and something else, and they would still be completely irrelvant though they might both be thought of as rights.
Inter-racial relationships and gay relationships are not related in any way that I can see. Just because they happen to both meet similar approval ratings does not relate the issues.

He said marriage, yes. I never disputed that. But if an activity is immoral it is immoral whether it's a relationship or marriage. I doubt there's a group of people out there that find inter-racial marriage acceptable but not inter-racial relationships.
The percentage of people that accept gay marriage is about 35%. The percentage of people that accept gay civil unions is about 65%.
The difference is that based on values and morals, we are attempting to draw the line somewhere. This far and no more. Society is willing to tolerate the relationship. Society is not willing to call it a marriage, because it does not and cannot fit the long traditional definition of a marriage.

There are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
