But I Married Your Mother Anyway

Sapphire Rain had this cartoon as part of her recent entry on a court case restricting a woman’s lesbian partner from spending the night.  The sentiment of the comic really hits home.

Here’s to hoping that in another decade or two, we’ll look back on the issue of gay marriage and, just as we look back at the anti-miscengenation laws that were on the books up until the 1960s, wonder what in the world we were thinking.

  1. Hopefully, people will come to their senses sooner than a decade, certainly two decades. Glad your trip home went smoothly. It was good for all of us to return to our “normal” routines.

  2. Interesting post!  I hadn’t thought of the issue that way but it makes a lot of sense.  Let’s hope time will indeed be the cure – or at least a contributing factor – in this case.

  3. Happy New Year to you and Tawn! I feel so ridiculous for missing you guys yet again. You were even at 15th & Valencia, barely 4 blocks from my office. arrgh, next time perhaps. I won’t miss any more of your entries either, I promise!

  4. @RakkaRay – I find it is an interesting comparison to draw.  While I’m respectful of differing opinions on this issue, I find it a bit frustrating that when people make these arguments (“will lead to legalized incest, bestiality, etc…”) and they are confronted with the fact that the same arguments were used about interracial marriage, they completely avoid addressing that concern.  They squirm and change the subject, but can’t provide any good answer to explain why, forty years after the races were allowed to mix, those foreseen consequences haven’t happened.
