We have Richard and Mildred Loving to thank for the landmark 1967 Supreme Court case that struck down laws banning interracial marriage in 16 Southern states. If you get HBO, watch the movie tonight. If you don't, click to view the video below. And remember this: 44 years ago, a plainspoken, working class white man and his African American-Native American wife were arrested and banished from the State of Virginia for the act of falling in love and getting married. Today, gay Americans in 44 states suffer the same discrimination.
