Immediately after the decision, same-sex couples in many of the states where gay marriage had been banned headed to county clerks’ offices for marriage licenses as officials in several states said they would respect the ruling.
Actors, singers and other Hollywood celebrities, many of whom have played a major role in driving acceptance of gay rights in mainstream culture, whooped with joy at the US Supreme Court’s ruling that made gay marriage legal nationwide.
Twitter lit up after the historic decision, with #LoveWins, accompanied by a rainbow-colored heart, and #SupremeCourt quickly becoming the top trending items on the social media site.
