Gay marriage opposition is much the same as interracial marriage opposition

Here's a truly stunning article on the similarities in the opposition to gay marriage today and the opposition to interracial marriage in past decades. I'd rather thought the arguments had the same shopsoiled feeling to them; it looks like I was right.

My preference to all this marriage stuff would be to have the state issue partnership licenses (similar to what Nevada has just passed) opened to any two consenting adults. Marriage would be a second ceremony done in the religious institution of the couple's choice and would have absolutely no legal status.My preference to all this marriage stuff would be to have the state issue partnership licenses (similar to what Nevada has just passed) opened to any two consenting adults.

I firmly believe in separation of church and state and this proposal would solve this debate.

Of course, my proposal would probably piss off the majority of both sides.
