Community members flock to Twitter to sound off on landmark ruling.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Defense of Marriage act unconstitutional Wednesday, prompting locals to flock to Twitter and share reactions on the landmark ruling.

The 5-4 decision will mean the federal government must recognize gay marriages in the 12 states in the U.S. that have legalized these unions, including in New York.
