Today, May 22nd 2015, is a landmark day for the Republic of Ireland as we are asked to vote in the Marriage Equality referendum.

Irish people from every corner of the world have been travelling home to cast their vote, and those who can't or aren't eligible have still been taking to social media to encourage others to have their say.

Celebrities from Ireland and beyond are also joining in the conversation, asking us all to get off our bums and down to the polling station today.

Here are a few of our favourite celebrity tweets so far…

As the marriage referendum fast approaches, those canvassing for the Yes and No side have heated up their efforts to get Irish people to vote a certain way.

In what is one of the most important referendums we as Irish citizens will vote in, a number of celebrities have been vocal about which way they will be voting.

The most recent is Irish celebrity chef, Donal Skehan, who took to Instagram to encourage people to vote Yes with a moving tribute to his best friend. 

Ahead of his wedding to his girlfriend Sophie, Donal asks people to vote Yes so that his future best man, Jonathan, can have the same rights as him.

The Marriage Equality referendum is just weeks away, and some VERY high-profile names have just gotten on board the Yes campaign. Except we do need to remind a certain turkey that LGBT doesn't stand for Less Gay Byrne on Telly…

If you've ever wondered what a phone conversation between Dustin and Bosco might play out like, then your question has finally been answered.

We love this sweet video from Straight Up For Equality (and the Poultry Party, of course).

The Marriage Equality referendum takes place on May 22nd. While it's expected the turnout from younger voters will be high, one of the main focuses of the "Yes" campaign at the moment is encouraging young voters to talk to older members of their family about what a Yes vote means for them.

This campaign video from LGBT group BeLonG To encourages voters to do the best they can to ensure their mam, dad, granny or grandad comes along with them to the polling station on voting day.

Take a look… and keep your eyes peeled for a few celebrity cameos, too.
