In the case of Loving v. Virginia, the concurring opinion was written by Justice Potter Stewart. He agreed with the majority's ruling that Virginia's anti-miscegenation law was unconstitutional but wrote a separate concurrence to emphasize that the freedom to marry was a fundamental right protected by the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. He argued that the Constitution prohibits interracial marriage restrictions just as it forbids measures that discriminate based on race.
