I have no excuse for not looking this up since I’m replying to you on the Internet but... Here goes. (Lawyers please correct my fuzzy legal mind and memories.)

When police arrested the Lovings they weren’t actually arresting them for the marriage itself. The Lovings left Virginia to get married in a jurisdiction where their marriage was legal. Leaving the jurisdiction of Virginia in order to enroll in an inter-racial was itself illegal and was the crime they were charged with. The inter-racial marriage itself was not prosecuted until later when other charges fell through. IIRC she pointed out their marriage certificate after police attempted to catch them in flagrante and the police fell back on that. It was kinda an accident that the interracial law was prosecuted and appealed.

right there is the proble,

If homsoexuals wanted marriage then why not move to MA but no they get married there and then move to other states demanding their marriage be legal and when it is not they then demand a divorce in that state.

Just keep frigging marriage as it has been for thousands of years and to hell with turd pokers or what eevr kind of weird sex or relationships they have liek polygamy
