The Twitterverse was exploding on election night with pro-Obama, pro-Marriage, pro-Tammy Baldwin 140-character words of wisdom on the historic night that re-elected Barack Obama, defeated a pair of GOP politicians colloquially known as the “rape” guys, elected the first gay Senator ever – Tammy Baldwin, and saw marriage equality measures in four states pass. Here’s a round up of what some lady celebs – some LGBT, some who play gay and some allies—had to say.
I am very proud to be an American. I feel very grateful to live in a democracy. I am very proud to have President Obama in the White House.

McCaskill's margin over Akin was 16 points.Even in that krazytown race, that is a remarkable margin.
