      52

      YAAAY! Equal rights for all. I am straight and married to a wonderful man but I think everyone whose in love should have the opportunity, gay or straight. If they let whores like Pamela Anderson get married and divorced every 5 minutes why shouldn't EVERYONE be allowed to marry? No reason for the hate. Rock on Ellen and Portia! :)

      67

      all you HATERS seriously… you're on a gay man's website… if you weren't missing so many braincells you'd realize that… so redirect yourself to your sites preaching hatred and intolerance.

      This is wonderful news, they're a beautiful couple. To the few negative reactions, you have REALLY proved what Gandhi said, "I like your Christ, but I do not like your Christians, they are so unlike your Christ" SO TRUE of all the "Christians" who wish death and/or misery on two people in love. Re-evaluate your evil hearts.

      Team Ellen and Portia!

    71. Katie009 says – reply to this


      71

      I find it offensive that gays call their unions a "marriage". Marriage is a sacred union between a MAN AND A WOMAN- not a man and a man or a woman and a woman. Call it a partnership or whatever you want, but dont call it a marriage. It never was and it never will be. Though I am happy about the added spousal benefits that go along with it. Everybody deserves that.

      So, I'm not gay; therefore I can't even pretend to understand the lifestyle and the challenges that go along with it. But I am a strong believer in love. Real, true, earnest love. It whatever form it takes. And they really seem to have it. Congrats to both of them.

    83. jenna says – reply to this


      83

      It wasnt the way the ellen said it or the fact that she cried, its seeing Portia crying and she is without make and looks so beautiful and so real. that is what made me cry.
      It is a great day for many people who have been persecuted because of who they love (which is a private act) and as more state jump on the bandwagon i feel that times will begin to change even sooner

      CONGRATS Ellen and Portia!

    87. :D says – reply to this


      87

      Re: Katie009 – no, it should and WILL be called a a marriage, because they're two people who want to commit their lives and love to each other. Get over it honey! It was only in the 1960s that because of the bible interracial marriage wasn't legal either… most of us want to leave discrimination in the PAST.

    88. Nancy says – reply to this


      88

      One million congratulations to them! That is going to be a huge event…Ellen always manages to break on through to the other side. Good for them!

      And to those haters: calm the fuck down. You're starting to sound like those people on Reefer Madness. Ridiculously stupid! LOL. Never mind, keep it up. It'll make for a great comedy twenty years from now.

      Would you people on here that are trashing the gays just STOP?!?!?!?!

      Everyone in this country (yes…I mean YOU too) comes from a background in which their ancestors were persecuted for one reason or another. Religion, sex, race, skin color, sexual orientation whatever. EVERYONE. That's why this country was formed. For people to escape persecution (only most of the founding fathers were either racist, sexist, closet homosexual…go figure). Fact of the matter is…we're all american. We're all human. In this scientific day and age, it is well proven that despite all our outward differences; we are all members of the human species. So drop the "I'm better than you because I don't understand you" routine. Or go take sociology 101 and psychology 101. Maybe then you'll understand why you're comments sound so juvenile and idiotic.

      IT'S ABOUT TIME!!

      Absolutely beautiful, touching moment. I had tears in my eyes as well.

      People should be able to marry who they damn well want to. Things change all the time, so this spiel about marriage being the union between a man and a woman, GIVE IT UP. It's an old, outdated way of life. People should be able to marry who they damn well please, man or woman.

      I totally agree with the person who said if they let people like Pam Anderson marry and divorce every 5 minutes, just for a bit of attention, then how can they stop two people who truly love each other?

      GO ELLEN AND PORTIA!

      Re: Katie009
      Banning gay marriage isn't going to stop gay people from loving each other. By not giving them this right, you're saying that they're less than human. I love Ellen and I think that she and Portia deserve to be happy, and if they want to get married, then let them marry! By your theory, if we're going down the traditional path (and therefore defintion) of marriage that has existed since recorded history-that it is only between a man and a woman- then marriage shouldn't be interracial and people should stick to their own race…WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. You can't tell a white person not to marry a black person, so why is the US allowed to tell women that they can't marry women? If the church doesn't want to marry them, then fine, but the state should not have the right to say the same thing. Church and state separated in a time when they burned people for witchcraft-that should tell you something!
