Almost every newspaper I saw in Newseum’s collection of front pages on Saturday had the Supreme Court’s decision on same-sex marriage on the front. And since it’s now unconstitutional to ban same-sex marriage in every state, I thought I’d gather up a collection of fronts from every state plus the District of Columbia.

One thing you might notice about this collection is how this story was played around the country. Many newspapers led with images from the steps of the Supreme Court. But just as many led with images from their own communities with local couples getting married or celebrating. A few papers led with the text of the ruling itself. And a handful led the front confronting the many issues that still remain, including acceptance in their own communities.
Here are 50 front pages:
