25 Text Messages Sent After The Supreme Court's Decision That Will Give You Feels

Can't read these texts through all the happy tears.

In a historic 5-4 decision today, the Supreme Court struck down the state bans on same-sex marriage.

1. And, obviously, people reached for their phones to spread the good word:

@BuzzFeedLGBT wow i love cute morning texts 💓

2. Clearly there was plenty to celebrate:

3. All of the emojis were brought out for the announcement:

@SkarSkarSkar from my sister :) 🙌🏻

4. I MEAN, SAMIRA WILEY'S MOM WAS SENDING EMOJIS, OK?

5. Everyone can get married — DADS can get married:

SAME SEX MARRIAGE IS LEGAL IN ALL OF THE UNITED STATES!!! CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!! MY DAD CAN GET MARRIED!!🌈🌈🌈🌈

6. But, all jokes aside...

7. ...many took the time to send heartfelt congratulations:

@BuzzFeedLGBT #SCOTUS #LoveIsLove #LoveCantWait

8. Because you've got this many emotions, you've just got to share them with someone:

@BuzzFeedLGBT From my best friend. #equality #LoveWins #AcceptanceMatters

9. Just something in my eye, hold on...

10. *wipes tear*

Just woke up to this text from Mom. Thank you, SCOTUS!! Equality at last. #lovecantwait #marriageequality 🌈🎉❤️👏🏼👬👫👭💍😂

11. OK, no, these are real tears:

12. Family group chats were bombarded:

@SkarSkarSkar my fellow gay sister first texted, then my straight mom, brother, and father chimed in.

13. And grandparents took three hours (I'm assuming) to text a single sentence:

My grandpa's congratulatory text after the Supreme Court made gay marriage legal nation wide 👭👬❤️

14. Dream weddings were dreamed:

15. World domination was planned:

16. Normal ~life~ was interrupted for a beautiful moment:

This text exchange from @dthomasg about what marriage equality really looks like won the internet today.

17. And Canadians sent their regards:

18. Confessions were made:

Texting my mom about the gay marriage verdict!

19. After-school and after-work plans were made:

20. Some moms suddenly had a lot of wedding bliss on their hands:

@BuzzFeedLGBT My sister's getting married to her boyfriend, and now I can get married to mine!

21. Other moms had their priorities:

mom also lookin out on the real reasons of marriage lmao

22. And some parents just wanted to stick it to Donald Trump:

23. Even bros have to have a special moment:

24. Because there is no love like bro love.

I'd been pretty jokey about this marriage thing & hadnt cried at all but this text from my 15 year old brother got me

25. Sometimes, though, an old-fashioned handwritten note says it all:

My mom wrote this to me for the #SCOTUSMarriage ruling. #LoveWins #Equality
