[Dems2008] Re: Loving v. Virginia (1967)

Hmmm Would you be happy if you were not allowed to marry the person
you love?

If you are married and if you don't care, why don't you petition
your state to revoke your marriage and have it called a domestic
partnership or a civil union instead?

I doubt that you would like that.
