Celebrities took to social media Friday to express jubilation over the Supreme Court's ruling that made same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states.

#LoveWins was the collective hashtag used by Kristen Bell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Lady Gaga and so many others to welcome the ruling. Rainbow hearts illuminated news feeds as A-listers beamed with patriotism and American pride over the ruling.

Several shared news stories of historic weddings, while others got a bit more creative: "Will & Grace" alum Sean Hayes even created a music video with his husband to celebrate the momentous ruling.

Here's a roundup of reactions:

Incidentally, if there were negative tweets coming from entertainment's famous folks, they were so few and far between as to be effectively invisible. Seth MacFarlane tweeted and deleted a groaner of a joke framing the decision as a good reason to go see "Ted 2," and Adam Baldwin had a series of tweets bemoaning federalism over states' rights, including one retweet about supporting the court's decision while disagreeing with its right to make the call in the first place.
