Why did minorities wish to be able to marry? Why did people who were in love
with people with other skin colours want to be able to marry?

It's okay. You don't have to call others perverts to try to feel better
about thing's you done in the past which made you feel uncomfortable. As
long as you didn't do things like force yourself on anyone, or get involved
with minors while an adult, it's okay.

They legalized gay marriage in my country & it didn't affect my marriage at
all (nor anyone else's that I can see). No 'circus' type things happened.
Society hasn't collapsed. I'd say one would have to have a very shakey
marriage for something like allowing gay marriages to affect it any. In fact
the only people who seem to be affected seem to be some people who've had a
few homosexual encounters and who scream about the marriage law it in hopes
that that will keep others from finding out about the encounters they feel
guilty about.
