Today there was a historic ruling by the Supreme Court, which legalized gay marriage nationwide. Since the ruling, influential tech executives have been vocal about their thoughts regarding the decision. Some companies, such as Uber and Twitter, have even hid little Easter eggs in their products to celebrate.
Here's a look at how the tech world responded:
Apple CEO Tim Cook, who came out as gay in October, talked of victory.
"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."
