Talk:Loving Day

Dubious

According to the newly added infobox, Loving Day is observed by the United States. But the end of the first paragraph says "Loving Day is not yet an officially recognized holiday by the U.S. government, but there is a movement to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to make it so."

So is Loving Day observed by the United States or not? — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 04:19, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

It's unofficially observed in the U.S. The article should probably be added to Category:Unofficial observances for that matter. hinnk (talk) 07:41, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Update In Popular Culture Section

Shouldn't the In Popular Culture section be updated to include Loving (2016 film)? Eligius (talk) 08:55, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Does the film reference the day/observance, or just the court case? I find it confusing that it would be listed in the article about the Day. Unless loving day is mentioned in the movie I'd leave it out of this article. Palehose5 (talk) 16:04, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

"Biggest multiracial celebration"

This wording is drawn directly from its source - I had to check because I wasn't sure what to make of it. My first thought was, "Isn't Christmas celebrated by people of multiple races? I feel like even Passover is probably more widely celebrated than Loving Day, which I'm hearing of for the first time this year? Valentine's Day?" Now, the source material talks enough about multiracial families and individuals that I get a little more contextual sense that this means "biggest celebration specifically centered on multiracial identity/issues." Am I off base here/just reading it wrong in my head, or can we do something to make what that sentence is getting at a bit clearer (without bogging down the sentence with too many extra phrases)?

Loving day is seldom acknowledged by those who fall outside of the original racial makeup of the progenitor couple… SinoDevonian (talk) 16:55, 20 June 2023 (UTC) SinoDevonian (talk) 16:55, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
