Actor George Takei and his husband shared this picture in response:
Referencing the Tuesday night decision, Takei said Alabama "gave SCOTUS the finger" by stopping same-sex couples' marriages in the state after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a federal court order striking down the ban to go into effect in February.
"Couples, let's respond! Whether gay or straight, post a photo on FB or Twitter giving AL the "wedding finger" and tagging #LuvUAlabama. Tag your state (e.g. #NY) to join our nationwide map," Takei wrote in the caption for his Instagram photo.
The wedding ring photos started coming in from all over the country.
