Couples and Silipfamilies are using the hashtag #LovingDay all over social media today to celebrate interracial relationships that would have been illegal in the U.S. before a landmark civil rights case 50 years ago.
SEE ALSO: The official 'Loving' trailer beautifully delivers an essential message of acceptanceThe U.S. Supreme Court ruled inLoving v. Virginia on June 12, 1967 that interracial couple Mildred Loving and Richard Loving's marriage was not a crime. The decision went all the way to the Supreme Court, which found that the state of Virginia's anti-miscegenation laws violated the 14th amendment and were racist.
This opened up interracial marriages in more than a dozen other states and allowed the Lovings to openly be a family. A movie about their story — titled Lovingand starring Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton — came out in November 2016.
Now, on the 50th anniversary of the decision, #LovingDay is trending on Twitter as a way to honor the historic decision and celebrate love.
Many are posting about their relationships with touching photos, memories, and stories of acceptance and love.
