The Supreme Court really waited till the last minute, but the results are in. The Defense of Marriage Act has been dismantled and same-sex couples can marry in California! Twitter has been lit up with support for same-sex marriage and here are some of our faves from celebs.

Kelly Clarkson, who will be tying the knot soon, was psyched to find out that many more other loving couples will also get the chance now. (And the defeat of DOMA also means already married same-sex couples are getting a whole lot more rights!) She Tweeted:
Yeah, marriage equality!!!! On our way! #PeopleLikeUs #TieItUp

It was a family affair for Jennifer Lopez. She recently opened up more about her lesbian aunt, as she launched her multiracial LGBT family drama, "The Fosters." JLo tweeted:

Former NSYNCer and big-time LGBTQ rights supporter Lance Bass was also in on the Twitter excitement. However, he also points out that there's still plenty more work to be done:
