"[T]he consequence is very clear. Marriage loses its significance. People will stop getting married. Homosexuals will not get married; heterosexuals will stop getting married. And that to me is the real threat to the American family and to the culture generally."

Rep. Seaborn Roddenberry of Georgia, on introducing an anti-miscegenation amendment to the Constitution in 1911.

"Intermarriage between whites and blacks is repulsive and averse to every sentiment of pure American spirit. It is abhorrent and repugnant. It is subversive to social peace. It is destructive of moral supremacy, and ultimately this slavery to black beasts will bring this nation to a fatal conflict. "

from Willowpondlane, in turn lifted from Eschaton.

You know, I hate to inform him, but.. co-habitation has become quite normal since the 70s and many people don't bother with the formality anymore. And this with /no/ gay marriage. I don't see where anyone has a problem with anyone who /wants/ to get married being allowed to. Idiots.
