Hijacking the marriage debate: Loving v. Virginia is about the unconstitutionality of racial classifications ? not the articulation of a radical new understanding of marriage.

By Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS
"[Activists] routinely invoke specters from America's past such as white supremacism and state-sponsored racism, and argue that supporting marriage as the union of husband and wife is somehow similar. ... Defending marriage is not similar to defending racism. Loving didn't fundamentally redefine the natural understanding of marriage. Rather, the 1967 decision rescued marriage from an extreme ideology that sought to hijack marriage for purposes unrelated to marriage itself. Today, the courts faced with Perry and similar litigation should do the same."
