Virginia is for lovers! 💙 The Supreme Court decided Loving v. Virginia 57 years ago, striking down laws banning interracial marriage in Virginia and 15 other states. Today, we celebrate the Loving couple and their bravery to take on discriminatory marriage laws. #LovingDay

Today we honor the anniversary of Loving v. Virginia. In 1967, the Supreme Court declared the ban on interracial marriage unconstitutional in the U.S. This year, we’re highlighting our Legal Map. Here's what the country looked like in 1966 before the Loving decision #lovingday

[Loving Day @lovingday]

On June 26, 2015 on the steps of the US Supreme Court, lead plaintiff Jim Obergefell said "Today's ruling affirms...Our love is equal." He was talking about Obergefell v Hodges & his own same-sex marriage - it's not hard to hear the echoes of Loving v Virginia. #pride #lovingday

Juneteenth: observed since 1866. An inspiration for #lovingday since 2003. US federal holiday since 2021. National #juneteenth Museum in Fort Worth scheduled for 2024. In NY Times, "grandmother of Juneteenth" Opal Lee said "Juneteenth means freedom to me." https://t.co/GuLYjVvEc5

Happy #LovingDay! NH is the first to codify interracial marriage, but first, last, or in between, the credit belongs to one person.

She's the reason I'm here.
She inspires everything I do.
I can't imagine this day or any other without her.

Happy #LovingDay! This past Thursday in the #mileg senate, I introduced SR 59 recognizing today, June 12, 2023 as Loving Day in the State of Michigan. It was 56 years ago today that Mildred & Richard Loving fought for the civil right of marriage equality & won. #LoveIsLove.
