This is actually what the Virginia is lover's is supposed to mean.

Virginia is for mountain lovers, Virginia is for beach lovers, Virginia is for wine lovers. It runs the gamut.

Thank you. All this time I really did not know that is what the motto stood for. They probably emphasized this when the motto was created, but I just didn't pay attention.

I’ve always heard is was about Virginia vs. Loving the court case. The first legal integrated marriage! I could be wrong though

It was an ad campaign from like the 1970s.

The loving thing is possible but also loving doesn't really want to associate too much. Like some will mention that we should have a statue about loving and the family keeps saying no.
