Los Angeles

- Some celebrity reaction to
the Supreme Court's decision that same-
sex couples have a right to marry
anywhere in the United States:

"Times are changing my friends. We have
such a long way to go and so much more
fighting to do so I hope nobody stops and
thinks everything's ok because it isn't, BUT
it's days like today, and moments like this
that we've all gotta have a drink and
celebrate how far we have come. I couldn't
be prouder to be gay." — Sam Smith, via
Instagram.

"Same-sex marriage is now legal all across
the US! Free to love. Free to marry. Free to
be equal!" — Lady Gaga, via Twitter.

"Love won." — Ellen DeGeneres, via Twitter.

"A beautiful long overdue victory and a day
to celebrate. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled
that the constitution guarantees a
nationwide right to same-sex marriage."
— Kate Hudson, via Instagram.

"Huge day for America. Happy to see the
news. All the love." — Harry Styles, via
Twitter.

know. #huzzah." — Neil Patrick Harris, via
Twitter.

"Happy tears on the eve of my own
wedding anniversary that all my friends
can know their marriage is respected and
protected by the law of the land." —
America Ferrera, via Instagram.

"This is a happy day, not just for LGBT
Americans, but for all Americans. It is the
beginning of an era where we no longer
will speak about same-sex marriage, but of
marriage. And one day, we need not speak
of LGBT rights, for they simply will be
human rights. Across this great land,
families are celebrating because we truly
are one family." — George Takei in a
statement.

"I have always said that everyone has the
right to love who they love and today, with
the historic decision from the Supreme
Court, I am so happy it is now the law of

towards our country being a better place
to be!" Shonda Rhimes, via Twitter.

the wisdom of our Supreme Court - and
the courage of generations of LGBT
crusaders who have fought hard and
sacrificed much to lead us to this
powerfully emotional and historic
moment!!! what an amazing day for our
community - and our country!" — Zachary
Quinto, via Instagram.

has finally come to the U.S. History! Love
ALWAYS wins." — Jesse Tyler Ferguson, via

"matrimonio igualitario" se llamara
MATRIMONIO y punto." ("Now in the U.S. it

you will agree with me that when it comes to international Relations Nigeria does not have this ''Lord it over them'' posture of the USA, in which case they always present one thing in exchange for another. But most annoyingly they only offer what you dont want.

Very soon american videos will show niggas kissing

F00LS. they are the pioneers of homosexuality. karma will catch up with them all

In 100 years, may be more, may be less, those things that look extremely strange to us today may just become normal, to think that there was a time blacks and whites attended different schools, used different buses; it must have looked a kind of strange to a lot of people when efforts were being made to stop such nonsense by allowing blacks and whites to mix; there was a time that killing of twins was totaling normal, it definitely would have looked strange to our fore fathers when some people tried to stop it.

Today I find it extremely strange that a court could sanction man to man, woman to woman marriage, but then, who knows maybe in 50 years, people could not but imagine what I was thinking to view such as strange.

Summary is, changes will continue ...today I could not but wonder what the Romans were thinking by deploying gladitors as means of entertainment, but could you imagine that, many years ago it was absolutely normal. Today we enjoy boxing as entertainment, I bet you, in 200 years time, the coming generation may think we must all be nut to entertain such violet means of entertainment.

I only pity those of you that will suffer HBP for nothing, the key thing is (and I thank God for that), it's still a matter of choice.
My 2 cents.

I will only agree 2 same sex marriage when OBAMA divorce his wife and gets married 2 george bush, until then I COVER. MY NYANSH WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS

Americans don get alert! Na Love win! I pray make naija follow get by all means


lol

Kudos to this piece. This has always been my line of argument. There was a time when being straight was seen as abnormal especially in the case of Emperor Claudius. I really don't get why people bite their heads off over nothing. Like you said, since it's a matter of choice, no wahala! Any guy can plug his deek anywhere it is accepted. It's none of my business.

aaaaah where have you been? American videos have been showing gay sex videos since not just kissing again. They just want to force that rubbish on our throat.
Let me just list 3 season films which contain gay scenes:

My best season film Spartacus: Agron and his gay wife, Baca and his gay wife in Batiatus' Ludus.

Game of Thrones

The Originals.

our African culture and lifestyle is going to come under heavy challenge in the nearest future.........

Sam smith just like elton john wow with their beautiful and wonderful voices

This is just a mind trick,a misconception of the normal that dwindles so fast.

I don't believe all gays are born gay,they are mostly lured via loneliness or insecurity from the opposite sex.its a psychological disorder that needs to be addressed properly when its still at the beginning before it becomes spiritual.
The American supreme court has failed the human nature and I hope they could bear the consequences of this when the wrath starts.

Very true bro........I can't imagine any fact to support the notion that one is ''born Gay''
