[UUPoly-L] By the way ...
Here's a part of the statement by Mildred Loving, on the 40th anniversary
of the Loving v. Virginia decision:
"Surrounded as I am now by wonderful children and grandchildren, not a day
goes by that I don't 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 person"
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 people's
religious beliefs over others. Especially if it denies people's civil
rights.
"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."
