No. 1 'Happy Days', June 25th 2015
Obama legalizes gay marriage in the US,
but also,
Five different terrorist attacks in France, Tunisia, Somalia, Kuwait, and Syria occurred on what was dubbed Bloody Friday by international media. Upwards of 750 people were either killed or injured in these uncoordinated attacks.
