The article refers to a "miscegenation analogy" in discussing the public debate over same-sex marriage and lesbian and gay civil rights in the United States. The focus is on homosexual and heterosexual constructions that are linked to race legislation and court decisions in the 1950s and 1960s. During the period between Perez v. Sharp (1948) and Loving v. Virginia (1967), interracial marriage went from prohibited to constitutionally protected, which suggests a shift from "queer" to "normative". The argument in this essay is that the legal history of race is relevant to sexual orientation. The miscegenation analogy compares the legal arguments prohibiting certain types of sexual acts and certain types of marriages. |
