Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are getting married!
The talk show host made the announcement at a taping of her TV show Thursday night, which airs today.
The California Supreme Court took a stance for equality on Thursday, by overturning the ban on gay marriage, the judges reaffirmed their belief that all residents of California should be treated the same under the law.
Ellen told the Advocate,
“I’m thrilled that the California supreme court overturned the ban on gay marriage. I can’t wait to get married. We all deserve the same rights, and I believe that someday we’ll look back on this and not allowing gays to marry will seem as absurd as not allowing women to vote.
P.S. I’m registered at Crate & Barrel.”
Now let’s see how many other states will follow suit. I’m guessing this will be a slow process, but I am very happy for Ellen.
Here’s Ellen making the “Big Announcement” on her show:
What others said:
T.R. Knight:
“Our ‘certain inalienable rights’ are protected today. It makes me proud to live in a country that works to correct its sins.”Melissa Etheridge:
“I feel they have made an honest woman of me. What a wonderful blessing for us and the gay community. We’re moving forward. It makes me feel happy for the whole human race that we are finally getting out of our differences and coming together and we are putting this all behind us. It really is going to be the thing that we talk to our kids and our grandkids and say, ‘That was the olden days — wasn’t that ridiculous?’”Marc Jacobs:
” Who to love and how to love should be up to the individual or the couple. Enough said!”Margaret Cho:
“I am overwhelmed. I can’t believe it. I am so thrilled. I am proud of my home state of California and so happy for all the soon-to-be-married gay and lesbian couples!!”
