Californian gays have great news for them: gay marriages are finally legal. Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres are going to take advantage of the new law and get married.
Citing the court’s ruling, DeGeneres said in her evening show on Tuesday that she and her partner, Portia de Rossi, well known actress from “Ally McBeal” would get married.
Associated Press stated in a press release:
The court ruling means same-sex couples could tie the knot in as little as a month. However, religious and social conservatives are seeking to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November that would undo the Supreme Court ruling and ban gay marriage.
DeGeneres has boldly used TV before to make a stand for gay rights.
In 1997, she brought her character on the ABC sitcom “Ellen” out of the closet, making the show the first on prime-time network TV to have an openly gay lead. The move drew cheers from gay civil rights organizations but was condemned by some religious groups.
A month before, DeGeneres had proclaimed from the cover of Time magazine that she was a lesbian.
DeGeneres and the glamorous de Rossi have been a familiar couple at Hollywood events, including the Academy Awards. Previously, DeGeneres had a high-profile relationship with actress Anne Heche.
In a 2005 interview with Allure magazine, the comedian said she hoped she and de Rossi are “together the rest of our lives.”
Neither Portia de Rossi nor Ellen DeGeneres made any further statements after the show.
