Clearly this is a main stream issue with alot of people, like it or not.

And if interracial marriage had been subject to a vote in the 20s (or the 50s, for that matter), the population would have been overwhelmingly against that, too.
This is the aspect of this vote that makes my head hurt. I see interracial marriage in the early days of last century as perfectly analagous to gay marriage. I have yet to see anyone attempt to explain how (aside from obvious physical factors) the arguments agains gay marriage are any different from the arguements against interracial marriage.
Anyone want to take a crack at it here?
The majority can be wrong.
