President Obama Jumps The Broom With Same-Sex Marriage, Announces Support + Celebs React

President Obama sat down in an interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts and announced that he too is in support of gay marriage. Obama is the first President EVER to openly and vocally accept same-sex marriages. Obama likes to call his new open-minded mentality an “evolution” in his thought process. Mr. President shared his thoughts with NBC on his stance on the issue.

“I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors, when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or Marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”

After his announcement, Twitter blew up with reactions from celebrities and supporters. Peep some of the tweets:
