Friend of mine, Vike, retired Army officer.
His sister is married to an African American here in rural Georgia. Get the picture? But things have changed dramatically on that over the last 20 years.
"One day 40 years from now everyone is going to sit down and talk about how utterly ridiculous it was to oppose gay folk from getting married. We will laugh and then cry over that absurd fight" Vike 2002
Thanks Vike for being the great influence you have been on me in this matter as 20 years ago I had those same prejudices against gay folk.
20 years ago I had the same prejudice against interracial marriage. It wasn't the way I was brought up. It did not look right to me.
I realized that it is none of my business. That marriage is about love and not about race. It is up to the individual to determine who they fall in love with, not up to those people who think the relationship is "yucky"
