As the Supreme Court hears two major cases regarding same-sex marriage, the opponents of such homosexually wedded bliss have come out in full force to voice their distaste for what they deem to be a threat to traditional marriage.

Whether it’s condemning homosexuality as “unnatural” and “immoral,” or comparing gay relationships to “armed robbery” and “marrying your dog,” or simply “thumping the Bible” as the primary means to argument, many of the opponents of same-sex marriage sound an awful lot like those who so vocally opposed miscegenation, the marriage between races.

Don’t believe me? Well, then let’s play a game, shall we?

It’s called: “Can You Tell The Difference Between These Anti-Miscegenation And Anti-Gay Marriage Quotes?”

1. "They cannot possibly have any progeny, and such a fact sufficiently justifies" not allowing their marriage.

2. This relationship "is not only unnatural, but is always productive of deplorable results ... [Their children turn out] generally effeminate ... [their relationship is] productive of evil."

3. State legislators spoke out against such an "abominable" type of relationship, warning that it will eventually "pollute" America.

4. “It not only is a complete undermining of ... the hope of future generations, but it completely begins to see our society break down ... It literally is a threat to the nation’s survival in the long run.”

5. This type of marriage is not allowed "because natural instinct revolts at it as wrong."

6. This type of marriage is "regarded as unnatural and immoral."

7. This type of relationship is "distasteful to our people, and unfit to produce." Such marriages would lead to "a calamity full of the saddest and gloomiest portent to the generations that are to come after us."

8. "Although there is no verse in the Bible that dogmatically says [this marriage should not occur], the whole plan of God as He has dealt with [humanity] down through the ages indicates that [this] marriage is not best for man."

9. "A little-reported fact is that [these types of relationships] are far more violent than are [insert single-race or heterosexual] households."

10. "I believe that the tendency to classify all persons who oppose [this type of relationship] as 'prejudiced' is in itself a prejudice," a psychologist submitted to the court. "Nothing of any significance is gained by such a marriage."

11. “"When people [such as these] marry, they cannot possibly have any progeny," wrote an appeals judge in a Missouri case. "And such a fact sufficiently justifies those laws which forbid their marriages."

I certainly see a lot of similar tactics being used here by people who were against Interracial Marriage and those who are now opposed to Gay Marriage.All the reasons to ban Gay Marriage is not based on any rational facts.Rather just a few words from a book and some narrow minded people.Other countries already have Gay Marriage.Our friendly neighbors to the North,Canada,has already legalized Gay Marriage years ago.History seems to be that Canada is usually a couple of years socially ahead of the U.S.
