As you’ve probably heard by now (in the form of hundreds of wedding bells), the Supreme Court has come down on the side of marriage equality.
After months of appeals, the United States’ highest court has brushed away any more stays and said that if same-sex marriage has been ruled legal in lower courts, they will NOT be overturning it.

That means same-sex weddings in Virginia, Oklahoma, Utah, Wisconsin, and Indiana are officially legal RIGHT NOW!
President Barack Obama led the nation to the right side of history, tweeting:
The Supreme Court just cleared the path for marriage equality in at least five more states. #LoveIsLove — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) October 6, 2014
Love is love. Sounds good to us!
