Pop Stars React To Supreme Court Ruling On DOMA: See What Demi Lovato, Pink & More Had To Say
Pop stars are rarely silent when it comes to showing their support of gay rights and marriage equality (See: Lady Gaga‘s “Born This Way” and Macklemore‘s “Same Love”). When the United States Supreme Court ruled the Defense Of Marriage Act to be unconstitutional on Wednesday (June 26), artists took to Twitter to announce their excitement. The verdict means that all state-sanctioned gay marriages will now be recognized by the federal government. Below, read reactions from Pink, Demi Lovato, Adam Lambert, Michelle Williams, Tegan & Sara, Cyndi Lauper and more.
