Everything’s Coming Up Rainbows: Love Now Legal Nationwide
Friday, June 26th, 2015: a historical mile marker for the United States. Courthouses across the U.S. are now open for business, serving straight AND same-sex marriages. Here are some of our favorite (and least favorite) reactions, stories and tweets:
One:
God @TheTweetOfGod: “If the Founding Fathers were alive today they’d all start marrying each other.”
Two:
Slate.com reports how Fox News reacts – We can only watch and wince, almost feeling bad for them.
THREE:

FOUR:
The GOP Candidates’ Responses
We don’t get it either. The best part about what they think? It doesn’t matter anymore!
P.S. Our “favorite” (as in “least favorite”) here: it’s a draw between Mike Huckabee and Rich Santorum.
FIVE:
The Rainbow-Lit Whitehouse
What a beautiful beacon of hope! The light after the storm and exactly what a rainbow is all about.
SIX:
Tim Cook’s tweet hits the nail on the head — love, as with marriage, is all about perseverance.
“Today marks a victory for equality, perseverance and love.” — Tim Cook
SEVEN:
Ellen DeGeneres. Let’s face it: anything she says is amazing and we love her.
“Love won. #MarriageEquality” — Ellen DeGeneres
EIGHT:
Dan Savage, you count twice for these tear-jerker Tweets.
“1/2. Telling my parents I was gay in 1980 didn’t just mean telling them that I was sexually and romantically attracted to other boys.” — Dan Savage
NINE:
“2/2. I was also telling them that I would never have children and that I would never be married. That was then. This is now.” — Dan Savage
TEN:
Here’s to Vinicius Vacanti for hitting two birds (or should we say four old dinosaurs?) with one stone:
