Given my own relationship, I often contest anti-gay marriage arguments by noting the striking similarities between arguments that were once also widely made against interracial marriage.

Supreme Court's decisions in the same-sex marriage cases last month, I began to reflect on all of the daily privileges that I receive as a result of being heterosexual - freedoms and privileges that my husband and I might not have enjoyed even fifty years ago. Mildred and Richard Loving, shown here in 1965, were at the center of a landmark Supreme Court ruling on interracial marriage in 1967.
