Celebrities are taking to Twitter to comment on North Carolina’s gay marriage ban.
The majority of the state’s residents voted on Tuesday to define marriage as an act between a man and a woman.

Ellen DeGeneres: “Getting married was one of the greatest things I have ever done. I hope everyone in North Carolina gets the same opportunity someday.”

Neil Patrick Harris: “North Carolina passed Amendment One. Unbelievable.”
Tori Spelling: “Sad to hear that Amendment 1 passed in North Carolina. Love is love! Period the end! #MarriageEquality”
Jesse Tyler Ferguson: “This is an interesing fact I just learned: First cousins can marry in North Carolina. (Unless they are of the same sex, I assume).”
Mia Farrow: “Oh North Carolina – the disappointment we feel now is nothing compared to the bewilderment & shame your children will feel.”
Russell Brand: “If I ever find myself in North Carolina I shall marry a man just to feel safe.”
Zach Braff: “Well @donald_faison , I guess we can cross North Carolina off the retirement state list.”

Brooklyn Decker: “Really disappointed in my home state of North Carolina this evening. One giant step backward.”
