Half an hour after the Supreme Court announced its historic 5-4 decision to make marriage equality a 50-state reality in the United States, it became apparent to our entire Autostraddle dot com staff that we weren’t going to be able to do anything but cry and laugh and cry some more all day today. Such jubilation! Such celebration! So many tears! Here are the 25 things that made us cry (and cry-laugh) the most (in no particular order).

1. Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion

2. President Obama’s speech

3. The White House changing its social media profile photos

4. This mental image of Joe Biden

364 days a year, we hate big gay branding. But today? Today is not like those other days. Also ice cream is delicious.
