The White House was lit up in rainbow colors Friday night to celebrate the Supreme Court's ruling on gay marriage.
In a statement, the president's office said the White House took on the symbolic colors of gay pride "to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to progress and equality, here in America and around the world."
Shortly after 7 p.m.. the north front of the White House was lit up in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet as about a hundred people — both gay pride activists and tourists — looked on.
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Friday that states cannot prohibit marriages between two people of the same sex.
President Obama hailed the ruling earlier in the day, calling it "a big step in our march toward equality."
