Celebrities Speak Out About Same-Sex Ban Overturn!
Here comes the bride, da da da da. And, Oh look! Here comes the other bride! It’s true, Ellen and Portia plan on making it official. Taking advantage of the new CA ruling overturning the ban on gay marriage, Ellen announced to the audience of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that she was engaged.
After a long ovation she joked, “Thank you. I’ll tell you who the lucky guy is soon.”
Celebrities are speaking out on the decision by the California Supreme Court to overturn the state’s ban on same-sex marriage.
Ellen Degeneres: “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.”
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.”
Chad Allen: “I have to say I was completely shocked at the level of emotion of my own reaction. It’s not that I didn’t care, it’s just that I didn’t know that I cared that much… I’m thinking about getting married. I am in love with my partner, deeply madly in love with him, and though I am not ready to propose yet, it is in there.”
