Celebs Rejoice Over Supreme Court Smiting Defense of Marriage Act

Celebrities flooded social media today after hearing the Supreme Court’s decisions in favor of gay marriage in two high-profile cases.

The Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act while arguing California’s Proposition 8, which declared marriage is between a man and a woman, is essentially invalid.

Lena Dunham, who played off her sexual HBO series Girls with a naughty campaign commercial for President Barack Obama last Fall, shared this nugget with her Twitter followers.
