As a clear advocate for gay rights, Etheridge is extremely excited about the Supreme Court’s decisions today and continued to show her love all over Twitter.

As a monumental moment in history, Etheridge is sure to remind everyone to cite where they were when this happened. We remembered where we were when Kennedy was shot, when Martin Luther King Jr. died, when the Twin Towers fell, and … when DOMA got thrown out!
