The 5-4 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges has been met with rousing cheers from lawmakers, celebrities and people the world over. President Barack Obama led the Twitter parade, writing, "Today is a big step in our march toward equality. Gay and lesbian couples now have the right to marry, just like anyone else. #LoveWins."
Here are just some of the many celebs and politicians who were celebrating the groundbreaking ruling and their American pride:

Selena Gomez just released her music video for "Good For You," and it's a little bit mopey, but she looks totally hot!
“I’m so happy to finally share the video for #GoodForYou featuring the initial stripped down version of the song,†Selena tweeted. And she's not kidding about the whole stripped down thing -- not only is she topless in her shower, but at one point she appears to be wearing nothing but a white tee and a bucket of water! You KNOW Justin Bieber is watching this on repeat...
And speaking of the Biebs, he was at the same club as Selena last night, and it was NO mistake. Bieber was attending the launch party for manager Scooter Braun's latest client, Tori Kelly, so it's pretty clear that Selena knew exactly what she was getting into when she showed up. We're just not sure why she left with Ed Sheeran though -- why not stick around a little bit longer and try to hitch a ride back to Bieber's party pad? Maybe she's just trying to play hard to get? We're VERY curious to see where this goes...
A photo posted by Kourtney Kardashian (@kourtneykardash) on
Aww! Kourtney Kardashian shared a new snap of her cutie patootie six-month-old son, Reign Aston Disick, on Friday.
The proud mom captioned the snap, "Three women and a baby." The mom of three posed alongside her pals Melissa Monaco and Allie Rizzo.
For the outing, the 35-year-old rocked a pair of ripped white jeans and a black leather jacket. Her lil' man was outfitted in a grey onesie -- how very Kardashian of him! ,
This is only the second photo that Kourt has shared of baby Reign, who was born on Dec. 14, 2014. Interestingly enough, that's also his big brother Mason's birthday!
Kourt is tending to her tots while the rest of her sisters (san Khloe) are living it up in France for the Cannes Lions festival.

All Sofia Vergara wanted to do was support fiance Joe Manganiello at the Magic Mike XXL premiere in Los Angeles last night, but what should have been a fun night out ended up turning rather ugly when a handful of pro-life supporters crashed the red carpet.
Protesters held up signs and went after the Modern Family superstar, but she smiled and seemingly ignored them as she made her way inside the theater. One sign read, "Lives created should be lives protected," while another one said, "Sofia: Unfreeze your daughters. Unfreeze your heart."
As you may know, Vergara and her former fiance Nick Loeb have been in a highly publicized court battle over the frozen embryos they created when they were still together. Loeb is suing Vergara because he wants the legal right to bring the embryos to life via surrogate, and he claims she wants the embryos to be destroyed.
In May, Vergara chatted with Howard Stern about the drama, and she made a number of very valid points. "More than a mother, [a child] needs a loving relationship of parents that you know, get along, that don't hate each other," she said. "I don't hate him [Loeb] but obviously he has a problem with me ... I wouldn't imagine anyone saying to bring to the world kids that already have everything set up wrong for them. It'd be so selfish."
Loeb has also made quite a few appearances as well, and when he chatted with Hoda Kotb on Today earlier this spring, he said it had nothing to do with the attention, but rather "legal, ethical concepts" and the "two lives that have already been created." Sigh. When will this be over?!

Univision has cancelled its telecast of the Miss USA pageant after Donald Trump made some very racist remarks last week during his presidential campaign announcement.
As you may know, Trump stated that Mexican immigrants coming to the United States are "bringing drugs," and he added, "They're bringing crime. They're rapists." In a statement on Thursday, Univision, which is the largest Spanish-language broadcaster in America, said it was "ending the company's business relationship with the Miss Universe Organization, which is part-owned by Donald J. Trump, based on his recent, insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants."
The network added, "At Univision, we see first-hand the work ethic, love for family, strong religious values and the important role Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans have had and will continue to have in building the future of our country. We will not be airing the Miss USA pageant on July 12 or working on any other projects tied to the Trump Organization."
Additionally, Roselyn Sanchez and Cristian De La Fuente have dropped out of hosting the Spanish-language simulcast of the show, and J Balvin cancelled his performance.
Sanchez wrote on her Instagram page:
"As a Latina and proud of my roots, culture and everything we have contributed to this nation, I have decided to cancel my participation as co-host of Miss USA. I don't tolerate the disrespectful and hurtful words that came out of Mr. Trump's mouth ... Mexicans, like all our Latino brothers have contributed positively to this great nation. We are the force that keeps this country afloat. I was very excited and grateful with the opportunity to serve as a co-host of this great event in which many Latinas have shined, but I am more excited for the loyalty to my people. Enough with racism and 'influential' people that belittle."
De la Fuente posted a video on Facebook and added, "It is unacceptable to launch a presidential candidacy created on a rhetoric of hatred and discrimination in calling Mexicans drug dealers and rapists. It is a shame that such an important institution as Miss USA is in the hands of a clown."
And not only that, but NBC released its own statement on the matter and said, "Donald Trump's opinions do not represent those of NBC, and we do not agree with his positions on a number of issues, including his recent comments on immigration."

A new clip for I Am Cait has hit the web, and in it we see Caitlyn Jenner in a gorgeous dress -- and some sexy skinny jeans and heels!
"People don't understand looking into the mirror and nothing seems right, putting on clothes that you just don't identify with," Cait says in the teaser for her upcoming show. "This is about getting to be who you really are."
We see Cait sorting through her closet and giving 17-year-old daughter Kylie a huge hug, and she also hops on a motorcycle as well. "We're going to talk about everything," she dishes. "We're going to do a lot of fun things for the first time. We're going to go shopping for the first time. Maybe some boy stuff like ride a motorcycle – because girls do that, too! It's going to be quite a journey. We're going to do so good."
I Am Cait premieres July 26 at 9 p.m. on E! -- Click HERE to watch the new teaser!

Justin Bieber attended Tori Kelly's Unbreakable Smile album release party at The Nice Guy in Hollywood on Thursday night, and not only did the pop superstar party with fellow singers Ed Sheeran and Megan Trainor, but SELENA GOMEZ was there too!
Selena didn't stick around for too long once Bieber arrived, but the starlet knew her ex was going to show up -- after all, Bieber's manager Scooter Braun was throwing the party for Tori! Talk about playing with fire! Either Selena is totally over Biebs and cool with him being around, or she's still not over him and she's hoping to rekindle their romance. Hmm, which one do YOU think it is?
Selena left with Ed and the two stopped by a local 7 Eleven to grab snacks before heading back to her home. When Justin was ready to leave, he darted out of the club and went straight to his car. We're DYING to know what's going on between these two -- you know Jelena will never die!

Just because Khloe Kardashian's family left her behind to flock to France, doesn't mean the reality can't show off her own behind!
The 30-year-old donned some super sheer leggings for a spin around her a Los Angeles gym today. Whether it was by accident or on purpose, the tallest Kardashian really highlighted her round rump with those oh-so-tight pants!
For her trip to the gym, Khloe brought a banana and a big bottle of water to quench her thirst. In additon to the see-through pants, the reality star wore a long-sleeve shirt and carried her belongings in an on-trend backpack.
Earlier today, Kendall joined mom Kris Jenner and sisters Kim and Kendall at Cannes Lions in the South of France. Besides Kourtney (who has three kids to look after) Khloe's the only Kardashian who's still stateside (oh and Rob ... but he doesn't count) and not partying in the South of France! Perhaps Khloe's remaining in Los Angeles to comfort ex Lamar in his time of need? Lamar has lost two friends, Bobby Heyward and Jamie Sangouthai, to a drug overdoses in the past two weeks. Many outlets have been reporting that Khloe and Lamar have rekindled their romance in the wake of the deaths. It's possible Khloe is staying in town to comfort the man in her life during these trying times ...
