I just wonder if we'll be able to find a couple with a similarly perfect name to represent us at the Supreme Court. "Sue and Jane Liberty" perhaps? I couldn’t agree more.

Loving v. Virginia is so critical to the ongoing battle for marriage rights. It shows detractors that something "naturalized" as counter to nature or god, in one half of a century, can transition to something else entirely a half a century later. I know that many have written about the degrees to which the two struggles (anti- anti-miscegenationist and pro LGBT marriage) can be likened, and contrasts abound. Still, I take a great deal of heart from the case, and hope that forty years from now (or sooner?) I'll still be alive to see a similar turning of the tide for LGBT partnerships.
