The Perfect GIFs to Celebrate the Supreme Court's Landmark Marriage Equality Decision
Hooray! Same-sex marriage is now recognized across the nation.
It's a rare thing to know, in the moment, that you're living in a historically important time, but that's what happened when we all woke up this morning to news that the United States Supreme Court voted 5-4 in favor of marriage equality.
More specifically, the highest court in the land ruled that same-sex couples be allowed to marry, regardless of which state they live in. All same-sex marriages are legally binding in all states. Or, as Justice Kennedy put it more eloquently, "The court now holds that same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry. No longer may this liberty be denied to them." FINALLY!
Now, as a pop culture/entertainment website, we'll be the first to admit we're probably not cut out for deep think-pieces on the historical precedent set today or an essay chronicling the lengthy struggle it took to get here. But being people who believe in progress, equality, and basic human dignity, we are qualified to celebrate, and we'll do so the best way we know how: with a shit-ton of GIFs. Hoooooo-ray!!!
When you thought it was too good to be true...
Then that feeling of sheer joy just explodes...
But things may turn emotional...
When those emotions go right to your stomach...
When you knew it was coming and now you can bask in the glory...
When the celebratory adrenaline kicks in...
And, of course, when people on the wrong side of history try to bring you down...
Good job by you, Supreme Court. (Well most of you. Scalia can go f' off.)
