For the same reasons that I wouldn't marry someone who wasn't a fellow believer today.

You've got to remember, these other races weren't exactly the image of purity, and Solomon was a prime example of what marrying from another culture would do (It wasn't so much race, as culture). He forgot God, and began to worship foreign idols. Today, Christianity (Though at the time it was Judaism.) has spread to multiple cultures, and races, so it's not such a major concern as it was.

I feel like face-palming every time I hear people throw around words like "bigot", and "homophobe" in this context. I don't hate homosexuals, nor am I afraid of them. I do however, believe firmly that the lifestyle they have chosen is wrong. That doesn't give me the right to abuse them, or torment them. They're still God's creations, even if they're living in a sinful lifestyle, just as anyone else living in sin, heterosexually.
