Musicians and music industry professionals from the UK and abroad have taken to Twitter to show their support for the gay marriage bill passed today.
Several Tweeters also used the social networking site to jab at those opposed to the bill.
Misha B tweeted: "I'm all here for gay marriage...Nobody's getting hurt."
Jessie Ware posted, "Yes to equal marriage," while FaltyDL tweeted "Nice one Cameron," along with a link to a news story about the new bill.
Others were quick to poke fun at the bill's opponents.
Dubstep producer Stenchman tweeted: "This Roger [Sir Roger Gale, Tory MP for Thanet North] guy is brilliant, describing same sex marriages as 'orwellian' while in a government meeting to decide if it should b legal. Irony."
Fellow dubstep musician High Rankin replied: "@stenchman its baffling that in 2013 in this country its even an issue."
"@HighRankin some of the claims against are brilliant. Did u know that gay marriage will lead to fewer straight 1s?" he sarcastically adds.
Up-and-coming manchester indie band The 1975 tweeted: "Why is there a vote on gay marriage involving straight people? surely that's for gay people to decide."
Stanton Warriors congratulated the UK government for allowing 'gay people to get drunk their own weddings & ignoring religous killjoys', accompanied by a picture of the Pope with the caption "A man with a cape, a bedazzled hat and a disco stick says it's wrong to be gay. Seems legit..."
Singer Will Young has been perhaps the most outspoken on Twitter about the issue.
"I HAVE to tweet MP's who say marriage is soley for a man and woman are completely insane (sic).
"Who the hell are they to comment on what same sex couples want. These people represent our country. Terrifying.

"On another note perhaps the government could look at addressing homophobia in schools both for teachers and pupils. If the government are going to take on homophobia and equal rights then do it properly. Not just a rubber stamp," Will Young continued.
"I get furious listening to jumped up narrow minded MP's (men mainly) who call on religious sentiments in a society where religious belief and archaic traditions are simply not relevant," he continued.
The marriage equality bill was passed by the House Of Commons today in a 400-175 vote, with a majority of Conservatives voting against the bill.
