God and Marriage
December 14, 2006
I was doing research for my research paper. I am researching the similarities and differences between the African American Civil Rights Movement and the gay rights movement, specifically same-sex marriage. (This is in my paper, but I thought it would be interesting for everyone to read this). What I did not know was that interracial marriage was once seen as going against God’s plan. This is very similar to the reason why many people disagree with same-sex marriage. A Virginia judge said: “Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and He placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with His arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that He separated the races shows that He did not intend for the races to mix.”
Now we know that this is clearly wrong… Maybe in the future they will realize that “God’s plan” to deny marriage to same-sex couples is wrong as well.
