The photo circulating on Twitter is actually from June 2015.

Last night, a photo of the White House illuminated in a rainbow display for President Obama's last night in office began circulating online.

Some of the tweets quickly went viral. The one pictured above, by writer Ivan Brandon, has been retweeted over 30,000 times since being posted last night.

The only problem is, well, it's not a recent photo at all.

Here's another angle of the White House, all lit up in rainbow colors, on June 26th of 2015.

The display was set in place to celebrate the Supreme Court's ruling on marriage equality.

The confusion began on Thursday night, when the White House Twitter account began sharing memories from Obama's term — including the night his iconic home was lit up to celebrate the historical marriage equality ruling.
