In case you’ve been on the moon the past couple days, President Obama finally sacked up and announced that he feels gay marriage should be legal. Celebs and Z-list has-beens have had different reactions to the news, but Mariah Carey demonstrated that she understands the right way to celebrate good news for the gay community – get your @ss to the nearest gay club.

That’s Mariah and her friend B. Scott celebrating the Obama announcement at The Abbey in West Hollywood. Mariah kept it low-key and partied with the regular folks, knocking back vodka shots until 2 am. The DJ began spinning some of Mariah’s greatest hits when he realized she was in attendance, which caused the dance floor to “go crazy,” and witnesses say the evening was all good, though of course some fans got a bit overzealous. “A security guard had to stay by her booth to control her fans,” said one onlooker.

Well, yeah. Imagine you’re a West Hollywood gay man, the President just announced he supports gay marriage, you go to your favorite bar and there’s Mariah Carey pounding shots. It’s a miracle that anyone didn’t get over-zealous.
