Mildred Loving is quoted as being prideful that her landmark case opened the door for relationships of all colors and varieties, Loving v Virginia was cited in decusions regarding same-sex marriage. Just a reminder that it only takes one person to affect change, and sometimes the system does work but not without concerted effort.

Many people are unaware that, until this decision, interracial marriage was illegal in the US, in fact most of our parents [and some of you old queens] can still remember a time when it wasn't allowed, until one brave couple decided not to take that shit laying down.
 
Back in 1968 me and a black girl got some looks out in Topeka when we were walking down the street together. I always found black girls/women to be hot. She had an older sister as well who was 18, I was 15 and afraid to get it on with her, thought I was too small.

Lemme find out you down with the swirl, I never would've guessed in a hundred thousand bajillion years. :bartshock
 
Let it be noted, Richard was a construction worker, they weren't wealthy, celebrities or well-connected, these were working class people and they turned America upside down in one foul swoop.

No, a couple of things, one was I was horribly insecure. She was 18 and I was 15, I honestly feared that she would laugh at my dick size,
also, even though I was rock hard I was afraid that I would go soft.
On top of that, we were in her grandmothers home and Granny Woods had been very nice to me and my family, it just didn't feel right to pay her back by fucking her granddaughter.
 
These people are a couple of my heroes.

They laid the groundwork for homo marriage.

It is staggering though, that it is only 50 years ago.

It wasn't until I read about them that I realized, I knew there were laws against miscegenation but I thought that was waaaaay back in the eighteen hundreds, my parents were alive when it was still illegal. And most imporantly I hope this encourages people who get overwhelmed by the state of American politics. Two people, two goddamn fucking people changed the US forever. And they weren't wealthy or well-connected, they weren't celebrities, he was a construction worker and she was a black woman in 1960s America, there was nothing spectacular about these two except that they stood up against the powers that be and did not back down. That could be any of us, and I can promise on my life that they faced more violent opposition then than any of us would now.
 
It wasn't that long ago, really, when things were very different.

There were racial restrictions when my parents bought their house in Pennsylvania...in 1957. 61 years ago.

Myself and many Americans fall into the delusion of thinking this era and these practices were ages and ages and ages ago but clearly there are still people alive who remember these backwards laws. Really eye-opening.
