How can Loving v Virginia be applied to same-sex marriage?
Johntorresbrooklyn
In Loving v. Virginia, the US Supreme Court found that state laws prohibiting interracial marriages were unconstitutional because they had no legitimate purpose and denied equal protection of the law to a class of persons based upon discriminatory reasons.
The same can be said of laws prohibiting same-sex marriage.
