Loving Day



On this day in history: via NAACP:
Loving vs Virginia was decided in a unanimous Supreme Court decision that struck down laws against interracial marriage. Years later, Mrs. Loving had this to say: "I am still not a political person, but I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness and the family that so many people, black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about."
I don't see SCOTUS taking this approach on gay marriage, but they really should.
