Miley Cyrus, Ellen DeGeneres, Kelly
Osbourne, Chaz Bono and Chely Wright were among the celebrities
cheering Tuesday's Prop 8 ruling.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled California's 2008 voter-approved gay marriage ban to be
unconstitutional.

declared unconstitutional!” tweeted Meghan McCain, daughter of
Arizona Senator John McCain. “Here's to freedom and equality for
all Americans.”
Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who
married actress Portia De Rossi in California before Prop 8's
passage, tweeted: “Today we took another step toward equality.
#Prop8 was found unconstitutional again. I couldn't be happier.”
Recently married country music singer
Chely Wright messaged her followers: “I am a gay American and it's
my Constitution too. #NOH8 Amen.”
“Are my ears hearing this correctly?”
Kelly Osbourne rhetorically asked. “If so my eyes are filling with
tears of joy! Thank you lord #Prop8IsUnconstitutional!”
Singer Miley Cyrus agreed: “we're one
step closer beautiful people #Prop8IsUnconstitutional.”
