These touching stories of same-sex couples from Humans of New York show that true love is everywhere

In a city of over 8 million people, photographer Brandon Stanton always comes across the most interesting ones. His massively popular blog Humans of New York began to take shape after Stanton lost his job in the bond trading market and moved to NYC in 2010, determined to create a catalog of the city's diverse and fascinating population.

The blog grew in popularity quickly, and Stanton released a bestselling book of his work in 2013. Soon afterward, he was commissioned by the United Nations to accompany an international photographic tour to capture and record stories of humans around the world.

In the wake of Friday's momentous Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, we've compiled some of the best stories from same-sex couples Stanton has photographed over the past few years and shared them with you below.
