“At long last we have #marriageequality"
It’s a historic day for Australia, as parliament passes a bill that makes same-sex marriage legal.
It’s been an emotional ride, and with so many musicians championing the #Yes vote hard in recent months, it’s not surprising to see Twitter light up in celebration.
Here’s how some of your favourite musicians and more reacted to the news.
Much love to all. What a beautiful, historic day for Australia xx pic.twitter.com/L2uRbCP2Mr

We got the news during our second last song in San Diego. We hugged on stage, finished up and cried. This chapter is over and it is ours

It took too long. It hurt too many. But we are finally there, Australia. The patience, dignity and resilience of the LGBTQI community has been extraordinary....and I'm available for weddings... #MarriageEquality

Proud, relieved and jubilant that #MarriageEquality is now law. Truly historic; a testament to those who fought the good fight, and a great comfort to our loved ones and the community who waited so long.
