Ted, > In another time, it was argued fairly effectively that marriage should be between people of the same race.

And eventually people got over that. Interracial couples got married, had children, and led productive lives just like everyone else, especially as the culture barriers started falling. No one needed to overextend "equal protection" because the definition of marriage never fundamentally changed.

It's a little different now with homosexual couples. They can't have children, at least not in the biological sense. They can't fulfill the normal father/mother roles, even if every gay couple has one playing the "male" role and the "female" role. The differences between a man and a woman will not go away like cultural differences are going away.

The biggest flaw in bringing up interracial marriage is this: Race isn't sexual orientation. Plenty of people flip their sexual orientation all the time. Look at Anne Heche, for instance. She was hetero, then homo, then hetero again. Ming-Na Wen, for example, can't just flip her race from Asian to African.
