Watch Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi gleefully commend SCOTUS on gay marriage ruling

Wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the logo of historic New York gay bar The Stonewall Inn, Sir Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi cheered the Supreme Court's decision Friday to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide — to the soundtrack of Queen's We are the Champions no less.

The real question here is whether McKellen already had a dapper fedora on hand, or hastily beribboned one to fit the occasion. Either way, enjoy this stylish, celebratory Vine from BuzzFeed, rainbow-colored confetti and all.
