Comparison of Interracial Marriage to Same Sex Marriages

There are a lot of similarities between the history of interracial marriages and same sex marriages. First of all, they general American public has not approved of either throughout history. Both groups have seen ways that have prevented them from marrying the person they love. The recent DOMA laws are just as unconstitutional as the laws from pre 1967 which did not allow interracial marriages. Both groups have been told that these marriages should not be allowed because they are “not natural” or “its just not right.” Both groups have been discriminated against throughout America’s history.

A way to deteriorate Americans homophobia is to accept same sex marriages. When racially mixed marriages were accepted, racism has declined. Let people marry the people who they want to marry. It will make this country better. There might be some resistance to the ideas of the legality of same sex marriages at first, but in time, it will be resolved because there will be no more unconstitutional laws for the idea of marriage. People will be more accepting of those who are different.
