Yup, I'd agree

You're potentially going to run into the "well, it's still a man and a woman" roadblock with this.

Still, it's enough of a similarity.

I agree.

Interracial marriage is still wrong. It's "Adam and Eve", not "Adam and LaQuisha".

People did used to see interracial marriage the way people now see same-sex marriage: as something wrong, something sinful, and something to fight against. There are definite parallels.

Im sorry, but again, I just laughed, and this ruined what I was about to seriously say.
and, I am going to use that line in the future.

Ok, Im going to try anyway.
Originally when the blacks were brought over as slaves, they were looked at as animals, sub human.
for a white (human) to have sex with a black (animal) and I think we can all agree that sex with an animal was a bad thing. So the laws went on the books.
as with all things, it took time for society to change its view, even after it was accepted that blacks were in fact human, just black humans, there were those that continued to look at them as nothing more than animals. So along with that view, the idea that the marriage was wrong stayed too. Over the years those people holding those ideas finally died off and the only thing left was a prejudice that the races shouldn't mix, other than the color most had no clue why, it just wasn't right.
Fortunately society has come to a point where it is acceptable, and common. and I say fortunately because some of the most beautiful women today just happen to be the children of mixed marriage couples. ( hey, Im bi, I can look at them that way )

This really does not equate to the argument against gay marriage. But I still don't see a problem with two people that love each other being committed to each other in a marriage regardless of their individual sexes.

Tbf south of the border most people are mixed to some extent.
I understand political corectness and border crossing politics would have you believe otherwise but most mexicans are some mix of the native peoples and the spanish. If not they are either white or nayive american usually.

Wait, people still care about interracial marriage?

Haha but seriously, interracial marriage/dating was a big problem like 10-20 years ago. Now, nobody, except for hardcore racists, cares.

I personally don't like it when people try to bring race issues into LGBT issues, to try to compare them, because they're different. Especially since racial rights have come a long way, (even though they still need progress) and gay rights are still underway.

Believe it or not, not every person that isn't white spends all of their life being afraid and prosecuted, and definitely not in the way that LGBT people are today. And this is coming from someone that isn't white too! :')

People still don't aprove of it.
Thats a similarity.

Alabama didn't technically legalize interracial marriage until 1999 or 2000, and I still see racist clowns go on about how "mix breeding" is so offensive and terrible.
