Many celebrities are coming out in support of the decision. Many of them include Ellen DeGeneres, Jane Lynch and Neil Patrick Harris.
According to Mediaite/Gossip Cop, many celebrities go to Twitter to congratulate the president.
Ellen DeGeneres wrote, “Thank you President @BarackObama for your beautiful and brave words. I’m overwhelmed.”
Neil Patrick Harris tweeted, “@BarackObama: President Obama announces his support for same-sex marriage… Bravo, Mr. President, and thank you.”
Jane Lynch said, “Obama: Marriage? Gay is okay!” She
added, “Pretty darn happy today. Thanks Mr President, for supporting
the dignity of my family and so many others!”
Tyra Banks noted, “A fierce day for my gays and my prez @BarackObama – way 2 stand up 4 luv for ALL!”
“Viva Obama who has just endorsed gay marriage. right on time drop a dime blow your mind,” said Sandra Bernhard.
Russell Simmons added, “thank you Mr. President for your support of gay marriage.”
Ryan Seacrest retweeted an NBC News post that read,
“In an interview with ABC News, President Obama said today: ‘I think
same-sex couples should be able to get married.’”
Meghan McCain observed, “Even though he did it a
little late under political pressure – very happy to hear the President
come out in support of gay marriage.”
Andy Cohen simply wrote, “THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT.”
“President Obama, on the right side of history!” exclaimed Chad Lowe.
Evan Rachel Wood reacted, “Wooooooo! @BarackObama.”
Michelle Branch tweeted, “YAY Obama!! #EqualityForAll”
“Better late than never!!!! Obama supports same-sex marriage,” offered Samantha Ronson.
Ricky Martin tweeted, “I applaud President @barackobama for affirming that ALL Americans should enjoy equal rights. Historic! I will be a very proud host on Monday.”
Kim Kardashian blogged, “Wow… I just heard
that President Obama has officially announced that he supports gay
marriage!! This is such a huge step forward in our country’s fight for
civil rights and I hope that today this will give hope to so many young
people across the country.”
The ramblings of Mitt Romney's campaign will tweet out their opposition towards it and say that it's another landmine to distract from the economy.
Eventually rappers, conservative activists and Black clergy leaders will voice concern.
Once again the issue of gay marriage is controversial. Conservatives allied with the Religious Right and even some in the Black community are going to fight harder to make sure marriage is between one man and one woman. And they will use this as a distraction to defeat President Obama.
