The world's celebrities are congratulating Ireland's big YES to same-sex marriage

Ireland said yes!

IT’S OFFICIAL, SAME-SEX couples are now entitled to get married in Ireland.

We’re the talk of the world, after over than 1.2 million people voted in favour of the Marriage Equality Bill, while only 734,300 voted against it.

Fair play to us, really. The world’s celebrities have the same sentiments.
