I will be curious to see the majority or concurring opinion by by #clarencethomas when the #supremecourt overturns #lovingvvirginia . They will of course need to clarify that all existing marriages are legal but states may decide whether any new marriages will be. But they will surely go after #brownvboardofeducation first.

June 12th: In a unanimous decision, The United States Supreme Court rules in favor of the Lovings in Loving v. Virginia, making state laws prohibiting interracial marriage unconstitutional.

In 1967.

#LovingVVirginia may have been decided in 1967, but it took until 2000 for the US Census to allow residents to select multiple ethnicities. It took until 2010 for the census to count same-sex households. #RFMA #InterracialMarriage #RespectForMarriageAct

@ryanshead That thought occurred to me and to Spousal Unit as well. Imagine a country where a Respect for Marriage Act is necessary because bigots will not relent. Evil runs deep here.

Yes, this was a good day. Let's shore up #Obergefell and #Loving in every way possible anyway. I'm old and have learned not to trust them, even on the good days.

Nobody wants to openly talk about how Malcolm X was just as Black as Barack Obama, cuz everybody has feewings and butterflies in their stomach thinking about adults of different races bumping uglies.
