Today’s historic Supreme Court Ruling effectively legalizing same sex marriage in all 50 states understandably drew a slew of reactions on Twitter from various musicians, actors, and other public figures. Below is a collection of just some of the reactions. No doubt there’s a whole bunch we missed too.

It’s good to remember that marriage equality nationwide is NOT a gift we’ve been given, but instead it’s a RIGHT we’ve TAKEN!! @jonnypierce
