	Loving v. Virginia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The plaintiffs, Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving, were residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia who had been married in June of 1958 in the District of Columbia, having left Virginia to evade a state law banning marriages between persons of different races.
		Upon their return to Virginia, they were charged with violation of the ban, pled guilty, and were sentenced to one year in prison, with the sentence suspended for 25 years on condition that the couple leave the state of Virginia.
		Virginia, 388 U.S.), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court declared Virginia's anti-miscegenation statute, the "Racial Integrity Act of 1924", unconstitutional, thereby ending all race-based legal restriction on marriage in the United States.

	US v Virginia
		Virginia's VWIL solution is reminiscent of the remedy Texas proposed 50 years ago, in response to a state trial court's 1946 ruling that, given the equal protection guarantee, African Americans could not be denied a legal education at a state facility.
		Virginia thus has decided to fund, in addition to some 14 coeducational 4-year colleges, one college that is run as an all-male school on the adversative model: the Virginia Military Institute.
		Virginia maintains that these methodological differences are "justified pedagogically," based on "important differences between men and women in learning and developmental needs," "psychological and sociological differences" Virginia describes as "real" and "not stereotypes." Brief for Respondents 28 (internal quotation marks omitted).

		For their transgression, a Virginia judge sentenced Loving to a year in prison, suspended on the condition that they leave the state and not return for twenty-five years.
		Loving was the name of a couple that was prosecuted for marrying.
		If Loving is any guide, proponents of same-sex marriage should not look to the Supreme Court for leadership, but should instead seek to persuade people on the grounds of the decency of their position.

	Ned Batchelder: Loving v. Virginia
		Virginia that state laws prohibiting marriage between the races were unconstitutional.
		In 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Loving v.
		I have heard commentators claim that a lack of gay marriage is not discrimination against gays, since each of them is allowed to marry, so long as it is someone of the opposite sex.

	Why does Pascoe argue against Loving v
		Virginia does not act as a catalyzing moment in racial liberation because the ruling did not confront biological racism and because it led to a legal precedent of “color-blindness”.
		Virginia case involves an interracial Virginian couple who traveled to Washington D.C. for their wedding ceremony to avoid the Virginia miscegenation law.
		Virginia provides an improvement in legally recognized equality, and that improvement should not be downplayed.

	Right Reason: Same-Sex Marriage, Justice, and Loving v. Virginia
		Virginia (1967) (as mentioned by commentators in the previous post) in support of same-sex marriage does not work.
		Virginia simply extended the right of interracial, heterosexual marriage to all States.
		Moreover, the ban on marriages between persons of different races in the United States was a government-imposed ban that prevailed only in certain parts of the U.S. The Lovings, for example, were legally married in D.C. Loving v.

	INTERRACIAL VOICE - "Loving" vs. Civil Rights Law
		Virginia, 388 U.S. 1, 18 L.Ed.2d 1010, 87 S.Ct. 1817 (1967) decision, and the other is the Census.
		Unfortunately Loving, a Supreme Court opinion, has not been proclaimed from the rooftops so that everyone might know from that day forward the One-Drop racial definition rule is dead.
		I do not read the Constitution, or any of its amendments, requiring the census to count anyone's "race." Moreover, I think very likely legislation requiring "race"-reporting may be subject to challenge for unconstitutional denial of Fourteenth Amendment privacy under Loving v.

	The right to marry and the Constitution
		The Court found Virginia's law to violate the Equal Protection Clause because it invidiously classified on the basis of race, but it also indicated the law would violate the Due Process Clause as an undue interference with 'the fundamental freedom" of marriage.
		In Turner v Safley (1987), the Court refused to apply strict scutiny to a Missouri prison regulation prohibiting inmates from marrying, absent a compelling reason.
		In Zablocki v Redhail (1978), the Court struck down a Wisconsin law that required persons under obligations to pay support for the children of previous relationships to obtain permission of a court to marry.

	Loving v. Virginia
		Richard and Mildred Loving were married in 1958 in Washington D.C. because their home state of Virginia still upheld the antimiscegenation law which stated that interracial marriages were illegal.
		In March of 1966, the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals upheld the law, but in June of 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled the law unconstitutional.
		Thus, in 1967 the 16 states which still had antimiscegenation laws on their books were forced to erase them.

	Far From Heaven
		Virginia, a white man, Richard Loving, and his black wife, Mildred Jeter, were arrested in Virginia on the grounds that their marriage license from the District of Columbia was invalid and that they had violated the sinister-sounding Racial Integrity Act.
		They were given a choice of a one-year jail term or exile from Virginia for twenty-five years by the lower court judge, Leon Bazile, who declared: "Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents....
		Commonwealth of Virginia was wrongly decided." He then twists the knife in a footnote: "It is a delicious irony that the most fervent champion of originalism on the Supreme Court in recent memory is an African-American--Justice Clarence Thomas--who was married in Virginia to a white woman named Virginia."

		The essential history of Virginia from 1690 to 1776 is a record of the economic and territorial expansion of a maturing colony.
		Meanwhile the Fourth Virginia Convention passed scathing resolutions condemning Lord Dunmore and announcing that the people of Virginia were ready to protect themselves 'against every species of despotism.' In November the ex-governor had declared the colony to be in revolt and had proclaimed all slaves in Virginia free.

		In the winter of 1842-43, four stars of the minstrel profession formed a novel ensemble, consisting of the fiddle, bones, banjo, and tambourine.

		For their transgression, a Virginia judge sentenced Loving to a year in prison, suspended on the condition that they leave the state and not return for twenty-five years.
		At a time when many observers question whether America has made any real progress, on the racial front, it is worth recalling that as late as 1967, sixteen states prohibited people from marrying across racial frontiers.
		The judge also lectured them on the importance and justifiabilty of the state's policy, asserting that the fact that "Almighty God" had initially placed the races on different continents "shows that he did not intend for the races to mix." One is tempted to laugh at the judge.
