“The same “religious/Bible based” reasoning the government is and has given for their stance against gay marriage was used for their reasoning against interracial marriage. They used some quotes from the Bible that went on about the Tower of Babble, blah, blah.”Well, since she mentioned it, here’s info on the interracial marriage ban that was struck down in 1967. Loving v. Virginia.
To sum it up: An interracial couple left Virginia to get married in Washington, D.C. since Virginia had banned it. When they returned, they were arrested, convicted and sentenced to one year in jail for “leaving State to evade law.”
In his decision, the Trial Judge wrote:
“Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.”The judge suspended the sentence for a period of 25 years on the condition that the Lovings leave the State and not return to Virginia together for 25 years.
