Ireland became the first country to legalize same-sex marriage through a nationwide public vote today, and celebrities around the world flocked to Twitter to show their support.
People from Vice President Joe Biden to singer/songwriter Sam Smith praised the Irish electorate for passing the history-making marriage equality referendum. The majority of voters in all but one Irish constituency voted "yes" on the referendum, which makes same sex marriage a constitutional right for citizens in Ireland.
Check out the celebrity celebration below:
