INTERRACIAL DATING IS A BEAUTIFUL THING







A lot of my friends are interracial couples. I have a gay couple friend, well off, one of whom is White with a German background and the other who is biracial. They make a great couple, and I have a lesbian couple who is also a biracial woman and a White woman. They are sweet together. Of course, my partner is White and we are an interracial couple. My sister is in an interracial relationship, and I know thousands if not millions of people are in interracial relationships. We just fell in love with someone, not based on their race, but based on other things like personality, character, their smile, their eyes, their quirky habits, their long hair. We love them for who they are. And that's OK.



People should be happy they can date whomever they want. We have conservatives and White supremists who do not condone "interracial" dating in the U.S.A. and in other countries, it is the norm to date inside one's culture--if not, expected. Luckily, in countries like Britain and Canada, we have the choice. And we should appreciate that choice. The world is not as open minded as we would like to think! Inter racial dating and biracial children are a beautiful thing.
