False.  It may have been expected that the marries couple be of the same race or social class, but that was not the essence, the definition, of marriage.  As I said, the Loving v. Virginia case did not require a re-definition of marriage.  And when King Edward VIII abdicated the throne to marry Wallis Simpson, a woman below his class, no one said their union required a re-definition of marriage.  Marriage between two men had never been considered a "right" until people with really, really goofy ideas of "right" and "marriage" came along and changed the very MEANING of marriage.
