In the debate above between
Ted Olson and
Tony Perkins, Mr. Olson (an
Ellison Bay, WI neighbor of mine, Solicitor General during the Bush II administration, a voice of sanity in the GOP and a great potential candidate for US Attorney General), finally gets to make the point that the Right Wing ban on Gay Marriage is completely equivalent to the earlier Right Wing Ban on interracial marriage. Anti-miscengenation laws in the US were found illegal in 1967 by the US Supreme Court in
Loving v. Virginia as an obvious matter of civil rights. Mr. Perkins makes all the same arguments about Gay Marriage that were made about interracial marriage. The arguments were bogus in the 1960s and are still bogus today.
