U.S. comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres married her long-time partner, actress Portia de Rossi, at their home in Los Angeles on Saturday, according to People magazine.

DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, exchanged handwritten vows in an intimate ceremony attending by 19 guests, a representative for the couple told the magazine.

The couple have been dating for about four years and have been open about their relationship, appearing at red carpet events in Hollywood together.

DeGeneres announced her plans to wed de Rossi, the former "Ally McBeal" actress, on her talk show, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," in May after California's Supreme Court overturned a state ban on same-sex marriage.

DeGeneres made broadcast history in 1997 when her TV alter ego came out of the closet on her ABC sitcom "Ellen," becoming the first openly gay lead character on U.S. prime-time network television.

She previously had a relationship with actress Anne Heche.

as a gay person this is amazing, but it does bother me that Ellen is a man in the body of a woman, because it basically is a man marrying a woman. If Ellen LOOKED like a woman, it would be so much more epic because they would actually look like a gay couple, but they just like the run of the mill husband and wife.

Dolores (may I call you that?) you are quickly becoming my least favourite person on here and when I see your name it reminds me of this:



Quite fitting, really.

Yay, Ellen and Portia are a great couple.
I didn't realise Ellen was 50 she looks about 30!

good for them, they seem very sweet together.

Congrats to the happy couple. I am sure Ramon's cunty comments are especially appreciated. What a dickhead.

and you are always a bitch with your snarky remarks.

And I know many lesbians.

I used to have a best friend that was a lesbian, a butch one, and not once did I feel I was with a woman. I always felt that I was with a man. I felt more of a girl than she probably felt herself.

Also, when I was working as a photographer in a newspaper, we were like 12 photographers, all men and one girl, Ana who was a friend of mine, she was also a lesbian and dressed like a man and acted like one. And to be quite honest, she was one of the boys. They all treated her like a man, in fact I was basically the girl pf the bunch and everyone was nice to me in the way they would be nice to a girl. In my case that is a diservice because I was always perceived as weak and she was perceived as stronger.


I always feel like a woman in my head and I'm sure that Ellen feels like a man in her head.

Did you see the pictures?? Ellen is dressed like a man and it's clear what she's saying, I'm the groom and she's my bride.

Well, she's the butch then. I know lots of boyish lesbians who go out with girlier girls. Nothing wrong with it.

Dude, just because you're totally fucked in the head doesn't mean every other gay person is.

BTW I never got the whole thing with some people thinking Ellen is butch. Aside from the way she dresses sometimes I always thought she was pretty feminine. And cute, also. I had no idea she was 50.

You know for awhile I didn't understand why there were so many red rep points by your name. And with this one post, all that's been cleared up for me.

Ellen and Portia, congrats.

but what the STUPID RETARDED people on this forum(excluding you obviously) DON'T UNDERSTAND, is that I've never said there is something wrong with it.

I've never said there is something wrong with Ellen being one step away from being a man, never. On the contrary, I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEM, I'm happy FOR ANY gay couple that choses to get married and it's so FUCKING EPIC that they can do it and they do it, but I'm not going to sit here and not say the truth wich is that Ellen is basically a man.

A man without that all important piece of junk hanging between the legs?

Delores, maybe you need to better explain the point you're trying to make. You said that it would be more "epic" if Ellen were a femme dyke, right? Why is that?

because since she looks like a man, and she is obviously "the groom" if you will, it is easier to digest for the people who are homophobic or are against gay marriage or atren't against it but don't support it.

It's easier to deal with a gay couple if they resemble the traditional characteristics of a straight couple, as opposed to dealing with a couple that looks totally gay.
