How the tech world reacted to the gay marriage ruling

Companies like Uber and Airbnb, and CEOs like Tim Cook and Mark Zuckerberg, expressed joy and relief

Being on the west coast means that, often times, you wake up to news that is already three hours old on the east coast. Social media has already reacted and you get to see how it unfolded in real time.

Today the first thing I saw when I logged into Facebook was, of course, the Supreme Court's historic ruling on gay marriage. The response, except for one or two people, was overwhelmingly positive.

Gicen Silicon Valley's overall politics, and its history of supporting same-sex marriage, it should be no surprise to you that the tech world was pretty euphoric today as well.

Here is how companies and entreprenuers reacted to the news today:
