#SCOTUS, #Prop8, #marriageequality, DOMA, AND Supreme Court trended on Twitter this morning as the Supreme Court prepared to hear same-sex marriage arguments. Thousands of people gathered outside of the Supreme Court, and naturally, everyone was on their best behavior and completely respectful of others.

Nothing says “we’re taking this seriously” like Katy Perry songs.
