Reply #17: Regarding Homosexual Marriage [View All]

You mentioned that her fiance is African-American. Because you made a point of it, I assume that you and your sister are not.

If that is so, you might point out that Interracial marriages were prohibited in most of the states at one time or another and it wasnt until the 1960's (I think) that the Supreme Court finally banned such restrictions nation-wide.

So ... it's always OK to restrict someone else's freedom to love and marry but your own right to choose should not be - or does she think that the states should be able to go back to restrict and disrespect the kind of marriage she is choosing.

I'm sure you can knock down the rest of the anti-gay-marriage arguments such as child-bearing on your own.
