Kasus ini diangkat oleh Mildred Loving, perempuan berkulit hitam, dan Richard Loving, laki-laki berkulit putih, yang dipenjara selama satu tahun di Virginia karena menikahi satu sama lain. Pernikahan mereka melanggar aturan anti-pernikahan antarras di negara bagian tersebut, Racial Integrity Act of 1924, yang melarang pernikahan antara orang "putih" dan orang "berwarna". Mahkamah Agung secara bulat memutuskan bahwa larangan ini tidak konstitusional, membatalkan Pace v. Alabama (1883), dan mengakhiri segala hambatan hukum berdasarkan ras dalam pernikahan di Amerika Serikat.
Setelah putusan ini, jumlah pernikahan antarras di Amerika Serikat meningkat. Tanggal sidangnya, 12 Juni, diperingati setiap tahun dengan nama Hari Loving (hari mencintai). Putusan sidang ini menjadi tema beberapa lagu dan tiga film, termasuk Loving (2016). Sejak 2013, putusan ini dijadikan acuan dalam sejumlah putusan pengadilan federal A.S. yang menyatakan bahwa larangan pernikahan sejenis di Amerika Serikat tidak konstitusional, termasuk putusan Mahkamah Agung Obergefell v. Hodges tahun 2015.
