History

Historical Context

The 1970 Supreme Court ruling in Loving v. Virginia struck down laws prohibiting interracial marriage, marking a pivotal moment in U.S. civil rights. This decision laid the groundwork for evolving relationship norms, including polyamory, which gained visibility in recent years. In 2020, Somerville, Massachusetts, became the first U.S. city to recognize polyamorous domestic partnerships, reflecting growing acceptance of diverse family structures.
