What is sobering about this video and its subject matter is that the Supreme Court decision was only 40 years ago. Sadly many of the overruled arguments against interracial marriage are the same ones used to deny gay marriage. Unfortunately enlightenment and fairness can take far too long.

I think it is ironic that virginia saying, "Virginia is for Lovers." Well it's only for heterosexual lovers today.

Loving would have wept for something left to love. Perhaps raisins in the sun Might have once been fun. But now a banquet waits, and the man who comes to dinner, encouraged like a hungry boy, enters now on howls of joy. ★┏━━┓┏━━┓┏━━┓┏━━┓ ★┗━┓┃┃┏┓┃┃┏┓┃┃┏┓┃ ★┏━┛┃┃┃┃┃┃┃┃┃┃┗┛┃ ★┃┏━┛┃┃┃┃┃┃┃┃┃┏┓┃ ★┃┗━┓┃┗┛┃┃┗┛┃┃┗┛┃

Are you insinuating that marriages in which one person is sterile or a collective decision is made not to reproduce are also socially dysfunctional? Although marriage has often been a utilitarian institution used for creating children, in the modern US, it has been redefined as a romantic commitment contract between two people, and denial of homosexual marriage rights, in that context, is blatent discrimination.
