Ireland recently became the first country in the world to approve marriage equality by popular vote, and good old J.K. did not hold back in spreading the good news—even when some Internet users didn’t want to hear it.
It all started with this tweet from Rowling:
Sitting here watching the Irish make history. Extraordinary and wonderful.

Which elicited the mashup wizard wedding joke above, but some people just can’t let a parade go un-rained on.
.@WBCsigns Alas, the sheer awesomeness of such a union in such a place would blow your tiny bigoted minds out of your thick sloping skulls.

Incendio! Someone call Madam Pomfrey—they’re going to need magic to heal that burn.
But it’s not just about one tweet or one hateful entity. Rowling, like us, is of the mind that hate speech should be challenged no matter where it comes from.
I don’t care about WBC. I think it’s important that scared gay kids who aren’t out yet see hate speech challenged. https://t.co/XumjDmEjuw
