The news is all over Twitter, but apparently it’s not a social media priority for the State Department.

@StateDept Please ask #SecKerry why State hasn't tweeted & posted this global alert for U.S. citizens online yet: https://t.co/Xkzs2dGtVo

@StateDept is still sticking to priorities.
#SecKerry: When same-sex spouses apply for a visa, we will consider application just like opposite-sex spouses'. http://t.co/hfyS2bCrLW
