Lady Gaga, who has vocally pushed for repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," is ecstatic that the ban on openly gay soldiers was struck down Saturday.

Gaga, currently touring Europe, took to Twitter to express herself.

"Can't hold back the tears+pride. We did it!i Our voice was heard + today the Senate REPEALED DADT. A triumph for equality after 17 YEARS.

Today I am so proud to be American. I wish I was home so I could throw a Parade. We are on the way ... to full equal[ity]."

The pop superstar included a picture of her holding a sign reading "Full Equality."

Gaga has given speeches and filmed videos in support of repeal; she also had gay soldiers escort her to this year's Video Music Awards.
