Two headlines about gay marriage rights in the United States particularly caught our attention at Portfolio.com. From a court decision that California's ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional to an impassioned speech in defense of gay rights by a Republican politician, this week was a strong one for gay rights equality.

But if you're looking for something a bit less serious to wind your week down, there was also the re-disappearance of Atlantis, a beautiful slideshow of the World Press Photo Prize Winners, and much more. Click next for a fun review of the Week that Was.
