The US Supreme Court on Friday handed same-sex couples a major victory -- the right to marry the people they love -- and paved the way for many countries in the future to allow equal rights to homosexuals.
Though homosexuality is illegal in India and was re-criminalised in 2013 by the Indian Supreme Court, Indians on Twitter rejoiced the SCOTUS decision wholeheartedly.
Here are some of the reactions from yesterday.
