Same-sex marriage is officially legal in the US. The Supreme Court announced its closely divided landmark ruling — 5 to 4 — on Friday. President Barack Obama, in a Rose Garden statement, said the decision represents a day when justice "arrives like a thunder bolt."
Brands across all industry sectors are tweeting their pride in the ruling, with some — such as Uber, Airbnb, and MasterCard — even incorporating rainbows into their profile images as a show of support.
The hashtag #LoveWins, in association with the decision, was trending on Friday.
