June 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ellen-degeneres-portia-de-rossiWith the US Supreme Court striking down the Defense Of Marriage Act and refusing to hear Prop 8, a lot of gay and LGBT-friendly celebrities were very happy yesterday. We already reported that it caused Kristen Bell to propose to Dax Shepard on Twitter. However there were plenty of others expressed their happiness on Twitter. Here’s a selection of their tweets.

Thank u2 #SCOTUS! This bday gift far surpasses the Hungry Hippos game I got when I was 7 years old. It truly is the best day ever. #Love4All
– Sean Hayes (@TheSeanHayes)

a great day to be gay! so much gratitude to all the people who fought so hard for this historic milestone. equality forever.
– Zachary Quinto (@ZacharyQuinto)

Prop 8 was dismissed?!? Huzzah! Christmas comes six months early this year! (Less one day…)
– Neil Patrick Harris (@ActuallyNPH)

It’s a supremely wonderful day for equality. Prop 8 is over, and so is DOMA. Congratulations everyone. And I mean everyone.
– Ellen Degeneres (who married in the four-month window when gay marriage was previously legal in California) (@TheEllenShow)

Today is a good day. A great day. A historic day. So proud of our country. #love&equalityforall

DOMA’s ruling is historic and a thrilling milestone in our American history. #SCOTUS. #HappyGayPride. #LoveIsLoveIsLove

A good day for equality indeed! Now come on California…don’t embarrass me.
— Alison Brie (@alisonbrie)

First Wendy, now DOMA gets the boot! Sometimes things are really great.
— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham)

‘Any straight person complaining about the Supreme Court striking down DOMA should be forced to hire a heterosexual wedding planner.’
– Joan River (@Joan_Rivers)
