# Robert A. Levy presents the libertarian case for marriage equality. 

44 years ago this month, the Supreme Court case *Loving v. Virginia* ended state bans on interracial marriage in the 16 states that still had such laws. Now the courts are once again grappling with denial of equal marriage rights — this time to gay couples. Robert A. Levy is the Chairman of the Cato Institute and presented the libertarian case for respecting an individual’s right to marry whomever they wish at [a Policy Forum on marriage equality](https://www.cato.org/event.php?eventid=8015) at Cato on May 18th.
