SCOTUS Marriage Equality Reaction Round-Up: The Internet Loves That #LoveWins!

Here’s some of the best responses from the world-wide intarwebz. OMG, how cute are Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi?

Kristen Chenoweth celebrated by posting this political cartoon that exchanges one flag for another:

Have a great weekend of celebrating, everyone! Today is a good day.
