For me, I believe that intermarriage is perfectly okay. It is really important to me that there are no restraints on marriage between any two people. This has a lot to do with the relationship I have with my uncle and a lot of my mom's friends. All of these people are gay, and they have taught me so much. Granted, intermarriage is a very different subject in comparison to gay rights when you look a little deeper, but on the surface they have so much in common (I'm not going to try to prove how similar the two topics are. I was just using it as an example to set up how I look at the situation).
There are so many different arguments that have to do with intermarriage but I only really want to focus on the most general points. If two people love each other, then why does there have to be so much hatred surrounding a beautiful thing? It is so crazy how we can see so much happiness yet anger and aggression at the same time. Also, what if the spouse is willing to convert? For some people it still is not enough. Even if the partner does not convert, then it should realize that maybe they want to let their child decide between the two different religions their parents share. I don't think that a child should always be put in a position like that, but on the other hand it gives the parents comfort that they won't be forced into anything.
Those two things in my opinion are the most controversial points about intermarriage. Post a comment below if you want to add something because it really is such an interesting topic!
