The Supreme Court's rulings reverberated in Hollywood, where some of the entertainment industry's most prominent personalities advocate gay rights.
Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have said in the past that they would not get married until gay couples could as well.
Comedienne and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, an early gay rights advocate, tweeted after the ruling on Wednesday, "It's a supremely wonderful day for equality. Prop 8 is over, and so is DOMA. Congratulations everyone. And I mean everyone."
Like Etheridge, DeGeneres was one of the first stars to publicly say she was a lesbian, exploring the topic on her TV comedy series "Ellen" in the late 1990s. She is married to actress Portia de Rossi.
"We stand tall today. #DomaStruckDown So many fought for so long. Be proud, the prejudice are now the minority," singer and prominent gay rights supporter Lady Gaga wrote to her more than 38 million Twitter followers.
"Big news from the Supreme Court. Goodbye #DOMA #Prop8. Hello #equality," tweeted Ben Affleck, the director and star of Oscar-winning film "Argo," while actor Leonardo DiCaprio tweeted the decision was a "historic day."
Singer Cyndi Lauper, whose True Colors Fund promotes gay rights and addresses homelessness in the gay and lesbian community, said, "Both of these decisions not only impact the lives of gay couples, but of gay and transgender youth who struggle to find acceptance from their family and friends."

Homos believe they are superior and special.
They ultimately want political power, it’s not about tolerance, we have to tolerate them, but they don’t want to tolerate us.
some idiot’called’rush today saying the issue needed to be taken offvthe table then it’d be over.
they will never take it off the table. they will never be satisfied. they will just keep pushing for more and more. it will never end. that’s why the guy was an idiot.
They don’t just want to be tolerated, they want to be celebrated.
I’ve heard Rush say many times that feminism is designed to give ugly women access to power,looking at a photo like that my first question is “could a guy ever be desperate enough...drunk enough....or schizophrenic enough to ever want to get within 20 feet of that...being?”
she can Marry in CA along with all of the Hollywood types. CA is not a good state to get divorced in :) Homosexuals have such dysfunctional relationships this is going to be a boon for divorce attorneys. I still don’t think a lot will be rushing to get married. There will be a spike, but most gays can not stay in a relationship longer than a couple of yrs...
