Today, the Supreme Court ruled same-sex marriage [1] legal nationwide (!!).
"No love is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, devotion, sacrifice, and family," wrote Justice Anthony Kennedy in the majority opinion [2] about the petitioners. "They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right."
Of course, reactions to the news poured in — here are some of our favorites so far.
Enough said

I grew up in a closeted gay household in Ohio afraid of being discovered. Feels like 200 years ago. Good job, #SCOTUS [27]. On to the next fight!
