I read about Keith Bardwell and was appalled. He denies racism, yet he is ignorant to the fact that his reasoning truly defines racism. Who is he to say who can and cannot marry? I realize that gay marriages aren't fully accepted in all states; however, interracial marriage hasn't been an issue for a long time - at least legally, that is. I am the product of interracial marriage and my children, to some degree, are also the product of interracial marriage. My mother was from the Philippines. My father is from the U.S. and is white. I don't ever recall being made fun of because of my mixed heritage. Keith Bardwell must be in denial to not see what our society is at currently. Besides, just because he believes it to be too hard on the children being interracial, doesn't mean it is up to him to stop the children from being created. If a child were to face any discrimination issues, it is up to the parents to help him or her overcome those issues. As for Philip Spooner, I applaud him. In my experience, the people with the most bigotry are those from older generations. They lived in a time where bigotry wasn't really considered bigotry. For Mr. Spooner to be accepting not only of his own son who is gay but all gays to have the right to marry is absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing the video and story.
