This was (or at least should have been) a major headline at the time

In 1958, Richard and Mildred Loving left Virginia and married legally in Washington, D.C. Virginia refused to recognize their marriage because the state classified them as belonging to different races. Soon after returning home, officers entered their house at night and arrested them. In 1959, they were each sentenced to one year in prison, but the judge suspended the sentence on the condition that they leave Virginia and not return together for 25 years.

The Lovings moved to Washington, D.C., but Mildred deeply missed their families, their community, and the quiet country life they had left behind. After living away for about five years, she wrote to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy asking for help. He directed her to the American Civil Liberties Union, where attorneys Bernard Cohen and Philip Hirschkop agreed to challenge their conviction.

Their case eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court. On June 12, 1967, the Court ruled unanimously in their favor, ending state laws that kept couples like the Lovings from marrying. Richard did not ask for fame or attention. His message to their lawyer was simple: “Tell the court I love my wife.”

Gallego says friendship with embattled Swalwell 'clouded his judgment'​

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., former Rep. Eric Swalwell's 'best friend' in Congress, said their relationship ‘clouded his judgment’ over rumors about his conduct.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., declined to weigh in on the latest scandal to hit a member of his party, instead focusing on his planned diatribe against President Donald Trump’s primetime address Thursday.
The New York Post reported that Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., engaged in sexual relationships with at least two Democratic House staffers who did not work for him while he was a member of the House. According to House rules, members are not barred from having relationships with staffers who work outside their office.
Sources told the outlet it was believed the relationships happened while the lawmaker was unmarried.
