Ireland did it! The 1st country to legalize marriage equality by popular vote, but they won't be the last! What an incredible accomplishment — Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) May 23, 2015

Great to see the people of Ireland voting to live in a country where everybody is treated equally #MarRef #YesEquality — Richard Branson (@richardbranson) May 23, 2015

Here at #HayFestival - almost no signal but news in that Ireland’s Yes Campaign has carried the day. So so happy. Oscar smiles in his grave. — Stephen Fry (@stephenfry) May 23, 2015
