Not too long ago, the definition of marriage was limited to people marrying within their own racial groups. This definition didn't 'suit' a certain group in society: those who wanted to get married to people who had different skin colours. In fact it was discriminatory. And so laws against interracial marriage were abolished. Do you get where I'm going with this?
