Learn what âLoving, and loving, are all aboutâ
Shortly before the 2007 landmark vote, in which the State of Massachusetts legislature endorsed marriage equality by a 151-45 vote, Mildred Loving, one of the plaintiffs in the landmark racial marriage equality case from 1967 âLoving v. Virginiaâ, endorsed equal marriage rights for gay couples.
The Lovingâs had committed what the U.S State of Virginia called unlawful cohabitation. Their marriage was deemed illegal because Mildred was Black and Native American; and Richard was white. Their case went all the way to the Supreme Court and on June 12th, 1967, the couple won.
âMy generation was bitterly divided over something that should have been so clear and right. The majority believed that what the judge said, that it was Godâs plan to keep people apart, and that government should discriminate against people in love.
But I have lived long enough now to see big changes. The older generationâs fears and prejudices have given way, and todayâs young people realize that if someone loves someone they have a right to marry.
Surrounded as I am now by wonderful children and grandchildren, not a day goes by that I donât think of Richard and our love, our right to marry, and how much it meant to me to have that freedom to marry the person precious to me, even if others thought he was the "wrong kind of personâ for me to marry.
I believe all Americans, no matter their race, no matter their sex, no matter their sexual orientation, should have that same freedom to marry. Government has no business imposing some peopleâs religious beliefs over others. Especially if it denies peopleâs civil rights.
I am still not a political person, but I am proud that Richardâs and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, black or white, young or old, gay or straight seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. Thatâs what Loving, and loving, are all about.â

Mildred Delores Loving (nĂ©e Jeter; July 22, 1939 â May 2, 2008) and Richard Perry Loving (October 29, 1933 â June 29, 1975) were an American married couple who were the plaintiffs in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia (1967). Their marriage has been the subject of three movies, including the 2016 drama Loving, and several songs. The Lovings were criminally charged with interracial marriage under a Virginia statute banning such marriages, and were forced to leave the state to avoid being jailed. They moved to Washington, D.C., but wanted to return to their home town. With the help of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), they filed suit to overturn the law. In 1967, the Supreme Court ruled in their favor, striking down the Virginia statute and all state anti-miscegenation laws as unconstitutional, for violating due process and equal protection of the law under the Fourteenth Amendment. On June 29, 1975, a drunk driver struck the Lovings' car in Caroline County, Virginia. Richard was killed in the crash, at the age of 41. Mildred lost her right eye.

By: Leigh Ann O'Neill
Published: Jun 12, 2024
So, I have a confession: I am a Kenny Chesney fan. His song "Get Along" has always been a favorite of mine, but it didnât achieve great significance in my mind until I started this job. As many of you know, I am the Director of Legal Advocacy for FAIR, and a big part of my job is fielding complaints from people who have faced discrimination at work or their childrenâs schools. Some have been outright barred from participating in events and activities based solely on their skin color. Others have been compelled to participate in discriminatory practices against their wishes for the same reason. Suffice it to say, the stories I hear are often quite grim and don't showcase the best of humanity. Instead, they frequently highlight discriminatory âDEIâ effortsâpresent discrimination as a means of correcting past discrimination. These tactics are inherently flawed and bound to fail.
When the so-called âgreat awokeningâ began to sweep the country in 2020, my primary feeling was confusion. We were told that America is a systemically racist country and that the opportunity to succeed depended entirely on one's skin color. That racism was not in fact discrimination against an individual based on their race, but that racism = prejudice + power. The proposed solution was to decolonize Americaâa revolution.
I was confused by these proclamations because, as far as I could tell, they were not entirely accurate; many were themselves fundamentally racist. Has America and its leaders made horrid, unthinkable mistakes throughout history? Definitely. Do racist people still exist in America today? Of course. Itâs the sweeping generalizations of the new orthodoxy that are suspect. Quite frankly, based on what I can see with my own eyes, itâs nonsense. However much actual racism there is in the world today, it is amplified 10X the moment you open social media. I have found that if we let it, sometimes the real world might just pleasantly surprise us.Â
Every member of a group categorized based on shared skin color does not think or act the same as the others. Nor does oneâs likelihood of success in life depend on which group they are assigned to. Race-essentialist and reductive notions like these arenât just crude, theyâre wildly improbable. Theyâre also dangerous. What could go wrong in resurrecting the pernicious principle that the law might rightly treat people differently based on their immutable traits, so long as it fits the popular narrative of the day? The current dogma of âintersectionalityâ and âoppressors versus oppressedâ is ultimately a losing proposition. It will logically fail on its own, and I believe that failure will be accelerated by love.
Fifty-seven years ago today, the Supreme Court handed down its opinion in Loving v. Virginia, the case that challenged anti-miscegenation statutes in several states. The plaintiffs, Mildred Jeter, a black woman, and Richard Loving, a white man, were married in the District of Columbia and then returned to Virginia to establish their marital home. Soon after, a grand jury indicted the Lovings for violating Virginiaâs ban on interracial marriage. The Lovings appealed, and once their case reached the Supreme Court, justice was finally served. The Court ruled that our Constitution does not allow a state to prevent you from marrying someone simply because you donât share the same skin color. For me, this history gives the slogan âVirginia is for loversâ a special meaning.
Weâve all probably felt the power of indeterminable forces trying to divide us based on immutable characteristics. After searching widely to find the exact source of this power, I still couldnât tell you what it is. But I grow more and more convinced that itâs mostly imagined, fueled primarily by our willingness to give it oxygen. Thankfully, these misguided forces are weak; they only survive when we choose to breathe life into them. At the end of the day, they are built upon one critical, fatal flawâthey ignore that our common humanity transcends immutable traits. Love overlooks those differences, and now, so too does the law.
On this Loving Day 2024, weâd do well to remember that fact. Instead of allowing the ideological forces to divide us, we should take Kenny Chesneyâs advice: âAlways give love the upper hand. Paint a wall, learn to dance. Call your mom, buy a boat. Drink a beer, sing a song. Make a friend.â Do these basic human things and live by loveâthe rest will work itself out.

AP News photo, Jan 26/1965
Mildred Delores Loving (nĂ©e Jeter; 1939â2008) and Richard Perry Loving (1933â1975) were an American married couple who were the plaintiffs in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia (1967). Their marriage has been the subject of three movies, including the 2016 drama Loving, and several songs.] The Lovings were criminally charged with interracial marriage under a Virginia statute banning such marriages, and were forced to leave the state to avoid being jailed. They moved to Washington, D.C., but wanted to return to their home town. With the help of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), they filed suit to overturn the law. In 1967, the Supreme Court ruled in their favor, striking down the Virginia statute and all state anti-miscegenation laws as unconstitutional, for violating due process and equal protection of the law under the Fourteenth Amendment. On June 29, 1975, a drunk driver struck the Lovings' car in Caroline County, Virginia. Richard was killed in the crash, at the age of 41. Mildred lost her right eye.
With the exception of a 2007 statement on LGBT rights, Mildred lived "a quiet, private life declining interviews and staying clear of the spotlight" after Loving and the passing of her husband. On the 40th anniversary of the decision, she stated: "I am still not a political person, but I am proud that Richard's and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That's what Loving, and loving, are all about." Beginning in 2013, the case was cited as precedent in U.S. federal court decisions holding restrictions on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, including in the U.S. Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges (2015). -Wikipedia

Loving day
Today is Loving day. It marks the 57th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court case that struck down Anti-miscegenation laws in the United States.
my parents were married in 1976. 10 years prior, their marriage would have been a crime.
Forgive me, i'm tired. i didn't sleep well.
I could wax poetically about how important to my, and my children's existence, this ruling is.
I could tell you how it enforced many of our rights through the use of the Due Process Clause of the 14th amendment.
I could tell you how obergfell and roe v wade were based on the reasoning of the due process clause of the 14th...
I could tell you how justice thomas, who is himself in an interracial marriage, questioned the validity of that right and reasoning.
It is all interconnected. Race, LBGT+ issues, our rights in general.
If you are LGBT, or poc, both, or whatever, you should know that your rights are being targeted. and it isn't in hiding. It isn't a secret.
You can see it on project2025. You can see it in Thomas's concurrence in Dobbs v Jackson women's health. It is out in the open. easy to find. spelled out.
Today is Loving day. and if you want to celebrate this day with me in the future, be sure you fight and support Obergfell, for our trans friends, for women's rights, and all the other interconnected issues out there.
Also: side note. Mildred Loving never wanted to be in the spotlight. She wanted to live a normal life after her and her husband's name became a rallying cry for civil rights. Her husband, Richard Loving, passed away in 1975 from a car accident. She passed away in 2008. Prior to that, on the 40th anniversary of Loving V. Virginia, Mildred Loving came out of her quiet life and said, "I am still not a political person, but I am proud that Richard's and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, black or white, young or old, gay or straight seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That's what Loving, and loving, are all about."
She knew it was all connected. Let's honor her memory.

Brian Murphy
Actor who became a TV star in the 1970s as George Roper in Man About the House and a spin-off series, George and Mildred
The comedy actor Brian Murphy was the mainstay of several hit television shows in which he was constantly outmanoeuvred by contemptuous and implacable women: Mildred Roper, Kitty McShane and Nora Batty were three of them.
The public image was of a ferret-faced and crafty-eyed loser, his thinning hair in a comb-over. Playing feeble, dim and cunning, Murphy specialised in a kind of low-level reedy grumble that could swiftly escalate into yelping panic. It was, however, somehow always clear that the weakness of his characters was firmly rooted in the strength and intelligence of his interpretation.
Murphy, who has died aged 92, became famous in six series of Man About the House on Thames Television, written by Johnnie Mortimer and Brian Cooke, which ran from 1973 to 1976. Man About the House followed the fortunes of three young people (played by Richard OâSullivan, Sally Thomsett and Paula Wilcox) sharing a flat, with Murphy and Yootha Joyce playing George and Mildred Roper, who owned the house and lived below them. The socially ambitious Mildred was flirtatious and something of a predator, while the ineffectual and petty-minded George was clearly unable or unwilling to cope with his wifeâs sexuality â though he could be seedily lascivious towards the younger female characters.
He and Joyce â who had been close friends since the 1950s, when both had worked for Joan Littlewoodâs Theatre Workshop company â were a glorious pairing, and before long became the showâs stars, leading to a spin-off, George and Mildred â also for Thames and written by Mortimer and Cooke â which ran for five series from 1976 to 1979. At its peak the show attracted up to 20 million viewers in the UK, making Joyce and Murphy household names.
When later asked if he felt haunted by the character of George Roper, Murphy was sanguine. âIâve long since come to terms with it,â he said. âI had sort of made a name in theatre before George and Mildred came along, so the fact that I became well known to a wider audience just allowed me more opportunities in the theatre. They were pleased to have a ânameâ on the bill.â
George and Mildred ended when Joyce, an alcoholic, died at the age of 53 in 1980, with Murphy at her bedside.
Murphy then took the starring role in two sitcoms, The Incredible Mr Tanner (ITV, 1981), in which he played an escapologist, and L for Lester (BBC Two, 1982), as Lester Small, a driving instructor.
In 1982 there came a personal stage triumph in Alan Platerâs On Your Way, Riley, in which Murphy played the music-hall drag star Arthur Lucan, who appeared on stage and film in the 30s as Old Mother Riley.
As a child Murphy had been taken by his parents to see Lucan and Kitty McShane (âOld Mother Riley and Her Daughterâ) at his local variety theatre, and he loved them all his life. So he jumped at the chance and certainly rose to the challenge of playing Lucan in Platerâs play, first presented at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East. He was partnered by Maureen Lipman as Lucanâs wife and stage daughter Kitty. The play was later adapted for television and shown on ITV in 1985, with Murphy and Lipman again in the main roles.
On Your Way, Riley was a real-life, backstage tragi-comedy â George and Mildred without the easy laughs. Murphy, with tremendous grace and poignancy, sank to the depths of despair as a besotted old trouper in a relationship in which his much younger wife, tempestuous and faithless, flaunted her lovers in front of him. He also recreated Lucanâs slapstick routines with great fidelity. Lipman, too, was magnificent as the woman who despised Lucan as a man while acknowledging that as a performer he was âa geniusâ.
Murphy was born in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, to Gerald and Mabel Murphy, who ran a restaurant. His two elder brothers, Ken and Eric, were killed on active service during the second world war. Brian was called up for national service in 1950 and worked as a clerk at RAF Northwood, near London, where he met another aspiring actor, Richard Briers, who also went on to be a television comedy star, in The Good Life.
When he was demobbed, Murphy studied at Rada and in 1955 joined Littlewoodâs company in east London, appearing in Oh! What a Lovely War and Sparrers Canât Sing. âShe kept on casting me to play these funny old men,â he said. âI was young and not obviously good-looking, so it fell to my lot to impersonate old codgers.â He also played bit parts on TV in series such as Z Cars and Dixon of Dock Green.
Murphy married Carol Gibson in 1957 and the couple had two sons; as he approached 40, parts became scarcer, and at one point he considered giving up acting to become an insurance salesman. But then Man About the House appeared, and he remained solidly in work for the rest of his career.
In the 90s he was in One Foot in the Grave and had parts in The Bill, Casualty and Mrs Merton and Malcolm. From 2003 to 2010 he played the timid but devious Alvin Smedley in the BBCâs Last of the Summer Wine as a neighbour of the ferocious Nora Batty (Kathy Staff), taking the place of Bill âCompoâ Owen, who had died in 1999.
Theatre included the title role in Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, by Christopher Bond at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East (1973); Soppit in When We Are Married, by JB Priestley, at the Whitehall theatre, London (1986) and Jim in Roll on Friday, by Roger Hall, at the Watford Palace theatre (1989).
In 2001 he toured as Al Lewis in Neil Simonâs The Sunshine Boys, with Ron Moody.
Two years later he was in the ITV comedy The Booze Cruise and in 2010 made an appearance in Hustle on BBC One. He continued working into his 80s, including appearances in Holby City and Casualty, and had most recently been filming for a comedy in late 2024.
His marriage to Carol ended in divorce; in 1995 he married the actor Linda Regan. She survives him, as do his sons, Trevor and Kevin, from his first marriage.
đ Brian Trevor John Murphy, actor, born 3 September 1932; died 2 February 2025

Meet Richard and Mildred Loving. Celebrate love and universal justice
When Richard and Mildred Loving awoke in the middle of the night, a few weeks after their June 1958 wedding, it wasnât normal newlywed ardor. As NPR reported, there were policemen with flashlights in their bedroom. Theyâd come to arrest the couple.
âThey asked Richard who was that woman he was sleeping with? I say, Iâm his wife, and the sheriff said, not here youâre not. And they said, come on, letâs goâ. Mildred Loving recalled that night in the HBO documentary The Loving Story.
The Lovingâs had committed what the U.S State of Virginia called unlawful cohabitation. Their marriage was deemed illegal because Mildred was Black and Native American; and Richard was white. Their case went all the way to the Supreme Court. And on June 12th, 1967, the couple won.
Now, each year on this date, âLoving Dayâ celebrates the historic ruling in Loving v. Virginia, which declared unconstitutional a Virginia law prohibiting mixed-race marriage â and legalized interracial marriage in every state.
âUnder our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides within the individual and cannot be infringed on by the State.â
Loving Day is the anniversary of this historic court decision for interracial marriage. Celebrated every year on June 12th, Loving Day is a global day of visibility, education, and community.
People around the world observe LovingDay.org in meaningful ways. Everyone is welcome and it can be especially significant for interracial couples, multiracial families, people of mixed race heritage and those with similar lived experiences.

My tipsy ass having a very ACD moment: There's a reason why I don't get credit that I would otherwise deserve. Media never implements what is my superior-to-what-they-actually-do ideas for storylines. Before the movie came out, and after I found out that they were combining Rafael and Liam in to one character for the film, I openly hypothesized that he would be a rogue Embed with the Richards campaign [I grew up in a vastly-economically-diverse suburb of D.C., so our public school curriculum was geared towards leading us to careers in politics/journalism and/or activism, therefore, before doing a deep dive on Taylor, I, not only already knew that occupation existed, but had the preliminary skills to be one (tangent within a tangent: to those of you from Minnesota whom complained about that electoral map unbelievably having you be red, I feel you, because I can't see a way where my purple state of Virginia would've gone blue in that election, then again, Virginia Is For Lovers (tangent within a tangent within a tangent: it will never make sense to me how that motto isn't actually because of Loving Vs. Virginia as that legalized interracial marriage across the country especially as the then-surviving member of the precedent-setting couple, Mildred Loving, was even vocally pro-gay-marriage when that battle arose)). Taylor was on a whole show about said job profession (see his character explain what one is here at 1:27), and that way the character would still be viewed as good/moral like Rafael and Liam are in the book, but, no, media can never utilize my good theories and they made Miguel a conniving asshole. I'm not actually complaining about the choices made as it would have been difficult to make such a peripheral character as Jeffrey Richards a bad guy in the length of a movie about a queer love story (though, come on, modern-day Republican - does it really need any exposition?) and it needed more drama than the blatantly apparent austerity of the crown and queerphobia. There was just a cleaner way to out the boys with out villainizing an openly queer character.
*Goes back to remembering that you don't want to hear from me today and continuing to hate self-aggrandizing Miguel with you*

Hey , how are you?
I just though of a headcanon: The Sarahâs reaction to the reader making matching rings/necklaces and giving it to them for no reason
hi! iâm good, how are you? :))
i love this idea! here you go:
billie dean howard
you would gift billie a matching ring and she would show it off to everyone!
she would wear it as if it were her wedding ring.
when you surprise her with it, she would get so lovey-dovey on you.
like non stop kissing because you and your gesture is just so cute to her.
lana winters
you would surprise lana with a matching diamond necklace after sheâd been working so hard all week.
you guys canât exactly show your love in public just yet so this is the perfect way to display your love that only you two know of.
she would always start smiling with her tongue between her teeth anytime you wear the necklace.
and she too would wear it everyday!
cordelia goode
sweet cordelia would ball her eyes out if you got her a matching ring.
it would be a promise ring with a pretty crystal on it.
but she would totally wear it every single day and night. she would never take it off and neither would you.
she would constantly fidget with it on her finger subconsciously and always say things like âi love your ring, baby,â teasingly, knowing she was wearing the same one.
ally mayfair-richards
with ally, i can picture matching a simple diamond necklace.
ally would always twirl the chain around her fingers when sheâs wearing it.
and she would wear it everyday.
she would constantly stare at the matching necklace on your neck and smile at it.
mildred ratched
mildred would be so shocked if you gifted her a matching necklace.
like she has never had anything this nice done for her so sheâs likeâŠfrozen when you give it to her.
but millie is super soft abt it and would wear it all the time.
she wouldnât draw to much attention to the necklace but she would always think about it at random times and get all blushy.
