Cutest Couple In High School Voted Cutest Couple On Internet: PHOTOS

We hear so much about gay kids not being able to take their boyfriends to prom, and trans girls forced to use their male names at graduation, that it's a legit shock when something great happens to LGBT high-schoolers. That's why we were all smiley faces when Brad Taylor and Dylan Meechan were named "Cutest Couple" at Carmel High School in upstate New York.

The Internet was happy too: When a classmate posted their photo on her tumbler, it was shared more than 100,000 times. "Two of my best friends won Cutest Couple of our senior class," said the friend. "First time in my school history a same sex couple has even been able to run for this category, not to mention winning it. So proud of them, and my school."

Dylan and Brad tell Huffington Post the whole experience has been surreal.

This whole thing has been a bit surreal for us because we have been raised to believe that love is love. We never realized that our happiness and openness would inspire so many individuals. The support we have received from our family, friends, and even strangers has led us to believe that our affection for each other is normal ... When we started dating a year [ago], the thought of a photo of us traveling throughout the world would be a bit frightening, but now we are proud to be part of the LGBT community.

Aw crap, here come the waterworks. Check out more photos of the happy couple while we get a tissue.
