Loving Day should be a US national holiday.
Just about a month before I was born, interracial marriage became legal throughout the USA. My own marriage is interracial--this is part of what opened my eyes to the need for full marriage equality. I supported same-sex marriage for decades before it became legal throughout the US, giving and voting and writing to get people who would support it elected and to fund legal challenges.

Happy Loving Day โค๏ธ!

Today, June 12th, 2023 marks the 56th anniversary of the Loving v. Virginia case, which made interracial marriage legal across the United States. People tend to forget that this is something that happened in our lifetimes. My husband was just 3 months old. Let us all continue to stand for equity for all, and love for all, no matter what that love looks like! Share your photos here if Loving Day applies to you!

Today we celebrate Richard & Mildred Loving, their sacrifice, & their perseverance to become & remain a legal family. Our family thinks & speaks of them often but on this day, Loving Day, we make sure others are aware of what was illegal not too long ago, what some states may legally disallow currently, and what you would be missing had the Lovings lost their SCOTUS case - our Nolan. June 12, 1967

It's ! 56 years ago today, in the US, it became legal in all 50 states for people of different races to marry each other as a consequence of the Supreme Court decision Loving v. Virginia. I'm half of an interracial marriage, and I'm grateful every day that I haven't had to fight for the right to be married (yet).

June 12 is Loving Day - when interracial marriage finally became legal in the U.S. - in 1967(!)

Richard and Mildred Loving awoke in the middle of the night a few weeks after wedding to policemen with flashlights in their bedroom. They'd come to arrest the couple.

Childhood sweethearts Mildred & Richard Loving got married in 1958, but were later arrested for violating Virginia's ban on interracial marriage. @ACLU took their case to the Supreme Court who struck down all interracial marriage bans nationwide in a landmark ruling.

Happy to all the lovers in the USA. Let's hear it for adults being able to marry any other consenting adults we love. And let's keep it that way.
