Gay marriage legalized!!! in GIFs, memes, video — and a Heino drinking song

gay_marriageToday the U.S. Supreme Court struck down bans on same-sex marriage — including Michigan’s, booyah — capping a remarkable cultural turnaround for the nation and a historic affirmation of civil rights for LGBTQ residents.

And last but certainly not least, raise your beer stein in toast with Heino. The German singing legend most certainly wasn’t gay (see a partial lyrical translation here), though the two guys trading shots of snapps sure seem to be getting cozy.
