Welcome to the Gay Age

The first apartheid law that South Africa rescinded was their law forbidding interracial marriage. The first law that was instituted by the Christian Roman emperors against homosexuality was a law forbidding homosexual marriages. Those two actions might well be viewed as brackets containing what we might refer to as the "modern age." We may already be in the "post-modern age." Certainly, we still have all sorts of problems to resolve. Those laws against homosexual and interracial marriages are symbols of the prejudices and discriminations that the modern age has been; and, of the fear behind those prejudices and discriminations.Kavanaugh, John is the author of 'Welcome to the Gay Age', published 2004 under ISBN 9781587363399 and ISBN 1587363399.
