"He continues, “although interracial marriage was illegal in some states decades ago, it’s never been immoral. Gay ‘marriage,’ however, has always been immoral.” "

Is the man wearing a pair of historical blinders? In the Loving v Virginia case in which the Supreme Court declared interracial marriage legal across the United States, immorality was at the heart of the matter.

The Virginia judge who convicted a mixed-race couple based on Virginia law cited the Bible in his legal decision. He made reference to the "common knowledge" that God had separated the races and that interfering with God's plans was sinful. He convicted the Lovings based on the law, but he justified his decision based on his certain knowledge that the Lovings were committing a sin, that their marriage was immoral.

He did not claim that anyone's skin color was immoral, but that the couple's actions were.

This is a perfect parallel to same-sex marriage. Sey's arguments about morality and skin color are ludicrous in light of laws against interracial marriage. His point of view doesn't make coherent sense.

Back in the days of Loving v Virginia, not every Christian believed that interracial marriage was immoral and sinful, but many did. The mainstream churches I attended took that immortality and sinfulness for granted. I'm surprised Sey is unaware of that.

Or maybe he is aware of it. Maybe he believes all those Christians were wrong about the immorality of mixed-race marriage –even while he insists he's right about the immorality of same-sex marriage.

Fortunately for LGBTQ people in the United States, Sey's opinions about morality and Christianity have no bearing and must have no bearing on how society is run.

Just as the Supreme Court decided in Loving v Virginia, no person's interpretation of the Bible should impact any other person's ability to live freely.

Biblical interpretations change, after all, all the time. When mainstream Christian ministers and church leaders marry same-sex partners, as is common today in large segments of Christianity, it's clear that biblical interpretations about same-sex marriage are changing anyway.

Sey should wrap his mind around that while he works to appreciate that his ideas about morality are not universal in Christianity and cannot Constitutionally play a role in the law in the U.S.

The Christian Post leadership should ask itself probing questions about amplifying plain hate speech, especially when it's so historically out of focus.
