The Supreme Court of the United States ruled on Friday that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right for every American, regardless of what state they live in, and people have taken to social media to share in the love.
“Oh Happy Day!” former “Star Trek” star George Takei, a well-known LGBT activist, wrote on Facebook. “The Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 that marriage equality is the law of the United States. Yes, ALL of these United States. I have waited decades for this day, and my heart is full of joy and my eyes wet with tears. Let the celebrations begin, and may the happy couples live long and prosper together.”
“Love won,” Ellen DeGeneres tweeted.
Take a look below at more reactions from Hollywood stars across film, TV and music.
