The Best Marriage Equality Memes

Yesterday and today have been watershed moments in the history of the US, as the Supreme Court listened to arguments regarding California’s Prop 8, a ballot measure banning same-sex marriage, and on the (hopeful) repeal of DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, which at its core refuses to recognize same-sex marriage for all federal purposes (benefits, immigration, even joint tax returns). On Monday night, people started changing their profile pictures to a pink and red version of the HRC logo in solidarity with marriage equality, and by Tuesday, I was so proud to see that many of my Facebook friends (myself included) had done the same. Even those who didn’t were sharing the image and quotes about love and equality.
From a social media and branding standpoint, it’s been fascinating to see how the original image has changed and gone viral in so many different ways, and also exciting to see brands supporting marriage equality on their Facebook pages too… check out all of the images after the jump!
