At that time, the arguments against interracial marriage were identical to those now popular among those still opposed to same-sex marriage. I also believe that in fifty years, Americans will look back at the current controversy over same-sex marriage in exactly the same way and future generations will wonder how it could ever have made sense to so many people that marriages of same-sex couples somehow "threatened" the institution of marriage.
In principle, I believe that prohibition of marriage rights based on gender violates the concept of Equal Protection in the U.S. Constitution. However, strictly from a constitutional law perspective, I recognize that proponents of same-sex marriage have a much more difficult argument. That is because race is one of the "suspect classes" recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court and, as such, is entitled to the highest level of scrutiny applied to any laws that affect members of different races differently (Edwards, Wattenberg, & Lineberry, 2009).

California Proposition 8: Same Sex Marriage The equal right to marry for same-sex couples in the United States has acquired growing public support over time, with a quantity of state-level laws passed and others presently up for debate. Proposition 8 was a ballot proposition and constitutional amendment that was passed in the November 2008 state elections in California. The measure added a new provision, Section 7.5 of the Declaration of Rights,
Efficacy for Proposition 8 There are numerous points of efficacy in the article for this assignment about how the passage of Proposition 8 in California negatively impacted the lives of those who were not in favor of its passage -- and of those who are a part of, or sympathetic towards, the LGBTI community.

The coming of globalization and capitalism remain the power changer fight against colonialism in the world today. The attractiveness presented by tourism can also not be overestimated for the countries whose climate, geography, and/or history seem to provide an exploitation-ready endogenous product.
