Celebrities Flock in Support of Australia's Marriage Equality Survey Result

The international outpour is strong.

Earlier today, it was announced that the "Yes" vote had won in the Australian postal survey on marriage equality, managing 61.6 per cent of the vote.

There have been celebrations all over Australia in support of the survey's clear outcome, which has been months in the making.

While the results reflect a clear decision by the Australian public, the path to marriage equality still has a way to go and will need to pass through Parliament to be legalised. It is expected, however, that the legislation may be introduced into the Senate as soon as this week. (Update: It happened today, with the aim for it to become law by December.)

Until then, join in on the celebrations.

Sydney: There will be an all-ages protest festival at Taylor Square on Oxford Street from 6pm. Check out the Facebook event for more details.
