In a few years MikeвЂ™s response will be considered just as backward and outdated as those who opposed interracial marriage in the 1960s. Today many people actually believe that biological sex is a social construct that can be redefined at will and changed with a bit of cosmetic surgery.

But Mike fails to realize that the Left has successfully managed to make the differences between men and women appear just as trivial as the racial differences that Mike dismisses as being insignificant.

Mike argues that racists make distinctions regarding unimportant characteristics like skin color while opponents of homosexuality make valid distinctions based upon the important distinction of biological sex. Mike attempts to differentiate racism, which he believes is genuinely wrong, from opposition to homosexuality and gay marriage. There are several problems with MikeвЂ™s response to this pro-homosexual slogan. Finally, the same arguments that were foundational to the Supreme Court striking down laws that restricted interracial marriage were also explicitly used in striking down laws that defined marriage between a man and a woman. The second similarity is that both miscegenation and homosexuality were highly taboo in Western society until the sexual revolution in the 1960s. The vast majority of people form relationships with or marry members of the opposite sex but of the same racial and ethnic group, especially historically but even today. The most obvious similarity is that both miscegenation and homosexuality are non-normative behaviors.

I agree that there is not an exact equivalence between interracial marriage and homosexual вЂњmarriage,вЂќ but the two arenвЂ™t as unrelated as Mike would like us to believe. ThatвЂ™s the real goal here even though itвЂ™s not a parallel and itвЂ™s not philosophically sound to say it.вЂќ There are several things in MikeвЂ™s response that need to be unpacked. YouвЂ™re not designed this way.вЂќ Mike continues by contrasting this with interracial couples who вЂњcertainly can, and do, and make the cutest babies weвЂ™ve ever seen.вЂќ Mike concludes by saying that вЂњthe purpose here to make this parallel is to try to get the world to see anyone whoвЂ™s opposed to same-sex marriage or homosexual behavior as a racist. Not because youвЂ™re infertile, youвЂ™re fertileвЂ¦youвЂ™re just doing it wrong. The most obvious one being you canвЂ™t have children. Mike contrasts this with gender differences which вЂњare massive and give us really good reasons to think that there is a big difference between a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, and a man and a man. Mike states that this is wrong because racism is a вЂњbias based upon a non-difference or differences that are so trivial, like skin toneвЂ¦that are so trivial as to be completely unimportant and unrelated to the conclusions of racism.вЂќ Mike then asserts that this вЂњmakes senseвЂќ and вЂњwe all agree on that.вЂќ Mike points out that this is asserting that homosexual relationships are parallel to interracial relationships.

The basic premise of this argument is that those who oppose homosexual вЂњmarriageвЂќ are no different from the вЂњracistsвЂќ who opposed the legalization of interracial marriage in the 1960s.

I was listening to MikeвЂ™s series on homosexuality and I came across his answer to a pro-homosexual slogan. Mike is a genuine Christian who is most deserving of the large following that he enjoys on YouTube and elsewhere. I do have some disagreements with the conclusions that Mike reaches in some of his videos, but I appreciate MikeвЂ™s genuine concern for the truth and scholarly approach to complex subjects. Mike also maintains a website called Bible Thinker where his content can also be accessed. Mike has a series defending the Bible and demonstrating the fulfillment of biblical prophecies, and another series on types of Christ in the Old Testament. I came across his videos on YouTube while searching on the subject of Christian apologetics. I wouldnвЂ™t expect to like a Calvary Chapel youth pastor the way that I like Mike Winger, but I do.
