Colourful day in Ireland: Rainbows form, referendum passes
Digital Reporter
Saturday, May 23, 2015, 6:01 PM - Ireland is the first country in the world to legalize gay marriage by popular vote.
Along with rainbow flags thousands flew to celebrate the LGBT community, an actual rainbow formed over Dublin, which many saw as very fitting.
The referendum was passed Saturday with 62 per cent support.
Here are some Tweets of the Irish rainbow:
