Today was a day for the history books. In a 5-4 vote, the United States Supreme Court decided to uphold the constitution and grant same-sex couples the right to marry. Within an hour, #LoveWins was circulating around the world as Americans and those in other countries alike celebrated the decision. So many came out in support of the vote that Twitter exploded with beautiful images and sentiments to mark the historic decision.
