US legalises same-sex marriage nationwide
Legal judgments tend to be associated with jargon rather than prose, but not this time. In all the joy that followed the US Supreme Court legalising gay marriage nationwide, it was Justice Anthony Kennedy's closing remarks about same-sex couples that drew the most attention.
"Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilisation's oldest institutions," he wrote.*"They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right."

Those words were shared by tens of thousands in the hours following the historic Supreme Court decision, which ruled that state bans on gay marriage were unconstitutional, paving the way for same-sex weddings in all 50 states.
On social media, happiness bloomed under the hashtag #LoveWins - which fast became the top trending topic in Australia and worldwide. Couples, supporters, companies*and celebrities came together to express their gratitude - and, at times, their shock - at the ruling.
The world's most followed person on Twitter, singer Katy Perry, said she was "really encouraged to be an American today". For popstar Ariana Grande, the announcement came as a pleasant surprise on her 22nd birthday.
