"Loving" and the Fight for Marriage Equality

To commemorate the 44th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court's decision that that struck down laws that forbade African Americans and whites from marrying, AFER's co-counsel in the Prop. 8 case, Ted Olson and David Boies, recorded a special message. They talk about how the Loving case set an important precedent for the current fight for marriage equality.

@LeytonLuva22 Polygamy and pedophilia are criminal offenses. Homosexuality is NOT. Please find another talking point and stop associating us with them. We are hard-working, tax-paying citizens just like everyone else.

[Mindlabytinth]

As much as I agree with what you say, arguing with a homophobic person is akin to playing basketball with a cow. No matter how many points you score, the cow will bite the ball, try to eat the net, crap on the floor and moo around like it won the game.

Americans? Welcome to the minority.

[Gerardo Maldonado]

why because Americans want to preserve marriage and not just fuck it up by allowing gays to be married. Marriage is between man and woman its just the laws of life.

[TheSovemer]

People like you are the reason why Americans are disliked around the world.

[RisenChurchTV]

God made the universe, God makes the rules. Stop doing gay acts, or get punished. That simple.

[Gerardo Maldonado]

no you are fucking pigs that like to suck dick and gtfo and quit bitching about something simple as marriage as if this fucking country didnt have enough problems already....

[David Kempton]

And in today's Supreme Court, whether or not inter-racial marriage would be allowed is ENTIRELY up to the Koch brothers, Bush Sr., Cheney, Rove et al, the criminals that have purchased and now own the Injustices...
