I've always thought the laws against gay marriage were like the laws against interracial marriage.

If ...I am so sad to hear that Mildred Loving died. If you ever get a chance to listen to the tape set, "May it Please the Court", there is some eloquent oral argument from the Loving case excerpted there, which moved me to tears (as did many of the cases, I must admit). My parents were married in California just a few years after the Cal. Su. Ct. ruled that Cal's miscegenation laws were unconstitutional, and now my brother and his husband are fighting for reinstatement of their marriage and against an initiative in Cal. that would amend the Cal. Constitution to discriminate against gays and lesbians, so this is a topic near and dear to me. Thanks for your post today.AuntieAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745438891737314047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-36602386399546470092008-05-06T23:22:00.000-04:002008-05-06T23:22:00.000-04:00I saw that in the Inquirer today.
