This week the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing a number of cases relating to same-sex marriage & marriage equality. To show support for those affected by the decisions on these cases, many people have been displaying an image of a red square with a pink ‘equals’ symbol in the center as their Facebook, Twitter, etc. profile picture.

This morning the Westboro Baptist Church staged a protest outside the Anne Arundel County Courthouse in Annapolis, MD. They came because today was the first day same sex marriages were officially legal, and could be conducted at the courthouse. Citizens from all over the area came out to counter-protest, and show support for the couples exercising their newly granted right.
