3. The precedent is that interracial marriages were not recognized
in former slave states until the Feds stepped in during the 60s.

It's always been hypocritical as hell, and the language has not changed since the days of Jim Crow. Only the targets are different.

I feel terrible for people who are caught up in this rubbish. I guess they'll have to restrict themselves to enlightened states in the north and west, thus depriving the former slave states once again of the vibrance and creativity they bring to any area.

Stupid fundies.
