As we’ve reported, today’s opening arguments at the Supreme Court showed that a win for same-sex marriage won’t be handed down for free — the ideology against us may be tired, but it can still swing a fist or two.
It’s going to be a fascinating and nail-biting fight to watch, and we’re encouraged by the abundant support we’ve seen from politicians and celebrities today on Twitter.
Here’s a sampling of some of the reaction:
Every loving couple & family deserves to be recognized & treated equally under the law across our nation. #LoveMustWin #LoveCantWait –H
