In the late 1950s, Richard Loving (a Caucasian man) and
Mildred Jeter (an African American/Native American woman)
were married in Washington DC and then moved to Virginia,
which prohibited racially mixed marriages. The police raided
the Loving’s home, charged them a felony and sentenced them
to jail for a period of one year (which later was converted to
sentence that required them to leave the state). After a series of
court rulings, the Supreme Court eventually ruled that laws
banning marriage based on race were unconstitutional and could
not be infringed by the state.
How is a same-sex marriage different from or similar to an
interracial marriage? Should any of these arrangements be
condemned because they do not conform to everyone’s idea of
what a marriage should be?
Opponents of gay marriage predict measurable harm to the
family and especially to children
. Does empirical evidence support this assertion?
