Actor and activist George Takei was wondering Thursday night on Facebook, "Will I even be able to sleep tonight, awaiting the decision by the Supreme Court tomorrow?"
On Friday, he was up early celebrating the 5-4 decision that clears the way for same-sex marriage throughout the country.
"Oh Happy Day! The Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 that marriage equality is the law of the United States. Yes, ALL of these United States," said the "Star Trek" actor, who married longtime partner Brad Altman in September 2008.
"I have waited decades for this day, and my heart is full of joy and my eyes wet with tears," his Facebook post continued.
