15 People Shared Beautiful Photos Of Their Interracial Relationships For Loving Day, And I’m Sobbing
Instagram/@need4lspeed

In 1967, the Supreme Court overruled a state-level decision to ban interracial marriage, and it was one of the best days for equality ever. The government finally went hands off trying to control whether or not people of other races could love one another because spoiler alert: they can.

For me, personally, I have dated guys who are black, and to think that would have been breaking the law a little over 50 years ago blows my mind. Someone's skin color doesn't dictate who they can or cannot love, and that's something I'm so glad I have the right to in today's day and age.

In honor of this beautiful day, here are 15 interracial couples sharing stories and pictures of their love, and I'm going to let the tweets do the talking.

(Remember, though, while we have come a long way from interracial relationships being illegal, we still have a long way to go. @ everyone who stares at interracial couples, just stop!)

10. This couple that has built a beautiful and wonderful family together

11. This girl who just hit everything spot on

12. This one that celebrated the beautiful love of her parents

13. This girl who made me tear up

15. And this one, who put it best: thanks to those who paved the way for this

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
