Solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the states seeking marriage equality!

Even Barack Obama is tweeting about it. Social media everywhere is being used to show everyone's support for gay marriage in the states. We updated our profile pages to reflect this support as well! Love is love. According to this article: You simply can't ignore the red today. From images of equal signs filling up your Facebook feed to people dressed in all red, the bright color is everywhere on and offline. That's because today is a huge day for gay-marriage supporters. 

Today marks the first of two days of Supreme Court hearings over crucial same-sex marriage laws. Today, the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8 is being discussed and tomorrow the court will address the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which prevents same-sex couples from marrying nationally.


Thanks to the Human Rights Campaign, who began promoting the equality image (pictured above) yesterday to gain online support over today's hearings in Washington, everyone from your long-lost high school acquaintance to celebrities have been voicing their support today with powerful images and words.
