Like the Marriage Equality Act? Or the Loving act, which allowed people of two different races to marry? I think that serves a purpose. It also serves a purpose in holding organizations and employers to account for unfair practices based on ant number of factors.

Yes, we shouldn't need these rules, because it's in the constitution. But since the founding, laws were interpreted differently based on gender, race and religious practice.

Loving was a SCOTUS case.

You called it the Loving Act. That would be a law. But instead it was a supreme court case -- Loving v. Virginia.

Yes, you're right. But the precedent for interracial marriage was set with that decision.
