We've been here before. When the Supreme Court struck down interracial marriage bans as unconstitutional in 1967, some public officials insisted they would continue to support such bans. Even decades later, some still thought such marriages should be illegal. But the bans were wrong then just as the bans on same-sex marriage are wrong now. The "slippery slope" argument was used against interracial marriage. And so was a version of the procreation argument -- that "mongrel" children born from such unions would be unnatural and freakish. People didn't want interracial couples to marry because they might procreate. Today they don't want LGBT to marry because they cannot procreate together. Stupid.
