Thanks for this reminder. I appreciate it.
I'm not quite sure how to articulate this; but, when I think about the Loving decision, I find it boggling that my 20 year relationship with my Hawaiian partner might have been considered illegal just one year before I was born.
Sadly, we haven't really come a very long way, baby.
Happy(?) Loving Day. -

was born, technically, a crime ―white mom, black dad― a year before the #LovingDay decision. my porrorican twin (15 months difference) was born in July 1967, so he was not born a crime.
i say technically because we were born in #nyc, so we weren't crimes here.

My parents - Black mother, white father - were married only two years after the #LovingVVirginia decision.

Happy Loving Day!
"An annual celebration held [on] the anniversary of the 1967 United States Supreme Court decision Loving v. Virginia that struck down [...] laws banning mixed-race marriages."

59 years ago today, the Supreme Court legalized interracial marriage in the United States. Happy #LovingDay! ❤ #NOH8

Only 59 years ago, my marriage to Evelia would have been illegal in many parts of the United States.
Freedoms are often hard-won and as we are seeing today in our country, constant vigilance is needed to keep them from being taken away.

In celebration of Loving Day, we're sharing "New Hope" by Corita Kent. This serigraph from 1966 is dedicated to Mildred and Richard Loving. At that time the Lovings were plaintiffs in the midst of the Supreme Court case that ultimately struck down states’ bans on interracial marriage the following year on June 12.
Check out the alt text to read the full text of the serigraph.

Love isn't as colorblind as it may seem.
Nearly 60 years after the Supreme Court's Loving v. Virginia decision, the legacy of segregation and anti-interracial marriage laws continues to shape dating patterns, including on today's dating apps.

Back in 2016, 'Loving' told the real-life story of Richard and Mildred Loving, a Virginia couple who in 1958, were arrested because interracial marriage was illegal in their home state.
They appealed their case and on the 12th June, 1967, won a landmark civil rights ruling at the US Supreme Court. It's for this reason, why Loving Day is marked on June 12th ❤️

Have you seen the 2016 film 'Loving' or heard about https://lovingday.org on June 12th? Loving is actually the last name of Mildred and Richard Loving.
The Loving's story began when they were arrested for being married in 1958 because they were an interracial couple living in Virginia, the USA.

Dating platforms both reflect and reinforce racial stereotypes and biases common in American culture.
When seeking a romantic partner, people gravitate toward others who are similar and familiar to them – not people whom they have been taught to see as fundamentally different from their family, friends and neighbors.
And part of that is the lasting legacy of laws designed to keep races segregated.

"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." - Mildred Loving

Less than 60 years ago, interracial marriage was more than frowned upon by some; it was illegal in parts of the U.S. In 1958, Mildred and Richard Loving, an interracial couple living in Virginia, were arrested for being married.
The Lovings won their landmark case, Loving v. Virginia, on June 12, 1967, abolishing all state laws against interracial marriage in the U.S. Now, every year on that date, the historic case is honored through Loving Day.

Happy #LovingDay to all.
Hard to imagine that in my lifetime my marriage would not have been legal were it not for the courage and love of Mildred Delores Loving and Richard Perry Loving

Today is #LovingDay!
When my parents were growing up, it would have been illegal for @Neem and me to be married, so today is the day when I appreciate the struggles others went through to get us to this spot. I feel incredibly grateful to be alive at this point in history, and nothing guarantees that these rights are static, so today I'll be thinking of ways to help ensure that my kids have the same freedoms that I have. -
Today is #LovingDay but what does this mean? Richard and Mildred Loving had committed what the U.S State of Virginia called unlawful cohabitation.
Their marriage was deemed illegal because Mildred was Black and Native American; and Richard was white. Their case went all the way to the Supreme Court. And on June 12th, 1967, the couple won.

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.
