Love Won On June 26th, 2015





The White House is lit up in rainbow colors in commemoration of the Supreme Court's ruling to legalize same-sex marriage on Friday, June 26. The court <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/26/politics/supreme-court-same-sex-marriage-ruling/index.html" target="_blank">ruled that states cannot ban same-sex marriage</a>, handing gay rights advocates their biggest victory yet.

In case you missed the new yesterday... the Supreme Court ruled in favour of same-sex marriage in every state! 

People wave a giant equality flag as they celebrate outside the Supreme Court on June 26.

HISTORY HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN MADE AFTER A LONG BATTLE!

The rippling effect of marriage equality ruling - historic celebrations of love


Dedicated to all LGBT that have committed suicide, all those that have been stripped of their right to life and aren't here to see the wonders of history made by the Supreme Court ruling yesterday. I'm sorry that you weren't able to. You deserved so much more than what you got. You deserved EQUALITY! LOVE WON!!!
