The U.S. Supreme Court delivered historic decisions this morning on marriage equality, ruling that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional and effectively tossing California’s Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage. Real estate insiders took to Twitter — and, uh, frosting — to broadcast their thoughts on the rulings.
