Quote:His point about bringing race was to illustrate how thoughts that seem 'so wrong' at one point in time, can become radically accepted further down the road.
He was nodding to how in the past there was an uproar over the thought of interracial marriage, but now a days this is a (generally) accepted act.
I hope that was his point. Am I wrong?
A local newspaper runs a conservative comic strip called 'prickly city.' I've only read it a few times, but in one of the strips, one of the characters, a coyote pup, wanted to get married to the main character, who is a young girl.
Obviously a comparison to the gay marriage issue, it does bring up an interesting point. When DO we draw the line? Most certainly at minors/animals. Hate to play the devils' advocate, but after we allow gays to marry will minors and incest couples be clamoring for the right to marry? -_-
