For the first time ever in a high-school's history, a pair of gay students were allowed to participate in the “Cutest Couple” competition.

They ended up winning the award, and a picture of them went up on Tumblr, where 18-year-old Chelsea shared their story.

“Two of my best friends won Cutest Couple of our senior class,” she wrote.

It was a victory celebrated by the LGBT community all over. According to the Huffington Post, Brad Taylor and Dylan Meehan's picture garnered 100,000 shares in the first day.

The seniors have been in a relationship for a year, and they welcome the support, although it has taken them completely by surprise.

Many users have commented about feeling inspired by their love story and their openness in sharing it.
