IT"S LOVING DAY !!
45 years ago today the US Supreme Court that EVERYONE in the country had the right to get MARRIED to whom ever they loved!........
Said the Court :
"Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival.... To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the
racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment requires that the freedom of choice to marry not be restricted by invidious
racial discrimination. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of
another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State."
