Openly gay singers Adam Lambert and
Ricky Martin are cheering a federal judge's ruling that declares
California's gay marriage ban, Proposition 8, unconstitutional.
Both stars took to their Twitter
accounts Wednesday to cheer the ruling.
“YEAHHHHH!!!!! #PROP8UNCONSTITUTIONAL
MOVING FORWARD,” Martin,who has 1.3 million followers, tweeted.
Martin came out gay in March after
denying rumors about his sexual orientation for over a decade. He
said writing his memoir got him “very close to my truth.” Last
week, the
38-year-old Martin said his book, titled ME, will be released
on November 2 from publisher Celebra/Penguin.
“Prop 8 Overturned!” Lambert
tweeted to his half a million followers. “I'm glad California has
restored the right for ALL of its citizens to marry whoever they
choose.”
“We're gonna throw glitter on this
barn tonight!!!” he added.
The 28-year-old American Idol
season 8 runner-up came out gay last year on the cover of Rolling
Stone.
“I don't think it should be a
surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay,” he said.
