And, in real life...
Mildred Loving dies.
Talk about courage, huh? It's times like this that I realize just how damn much I take for granted. So, thank you Mrs. Loving, for being the reason that no state in America can deny the legal bond between myself and my husband. *raises glass*
I especially like that, after declining to give interviews for years, she spoke out on the 40th anniversary of the case in favor of same-sex marriages.
“When any society says that I cannot marry a certain person, that society has cut off a segment of my freedom.” Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said in that in 1958 and it holds just as true now.
