With people coming together under the #LoveWins hashtag, President Obama showed his support

And The White House’s official Twitter account got a nice new avatar

People never gave up hope

Knowing that #LoveAlwaysWins

There were plenty of tears

And some plans for the future

Some people felt surreal at it all happening so fast

Mostly, though, there is just a whole lot of pride on show

The leaders of Ireland’s quest for marriage equality were quick to voice their support
