Ellen DeGeneres Can't Stop Saying 'I Do'
Ellen DeGeneres posted a message on her website yesterday revealing her joy at getting married.
As Joe notes, that People cover story is an excellent weapon against Prop. 8.

Something about our dear Ellen reeks of "trivial". Of course, there's also the bane of bad choices, dearie. Have you forgotten the disastrous liaison with the aspiring actress Anne Heche? And keep in mind that Portia di Rossi was once Amanda Lee Rogers. One wonders how "she of the imaginative name change" came up with that one. It's not beyond possible that she struggled over all sorts of permutations and combinations - like Rosa de Porti or Posa de Rosa.

You just can't allow someone to be happy, eh Jason? What's in your closet I wonder. As for Portia's name change, many celebrities change their names when they start out in show business. Portia changed hers when she was 15 bck in Australia. Maybe she thought Amanda Lee Rogers was a little too generic for producers and casting agents to remember.
Geez, come down off your mountaintop, Jason, and join the rest of us in wishing the happy couple the best as they strat their lives together.

Y'all are some harsh bitches. What did Ellen do to you? A little triviality and levity can be refreshing sometimes, and Ellen does it well and with what appears to be a good heart. I wish her all the best.

There's nothing trivial about being out and proud.

Ellen and Portia make a lovely couple. JASON, you need to f**k off.

What a charming note, Mrs. DeGeneres. Unfortunately, Towleroad does not offer me the option to reply in your fancy font but... Congratulations!

Ellen has more good will than any other out lesbian in the country. Hardly trivial by any standard. Gay and lesbian couples in California have been able to marry now for just over two months--a huge step in equality under the law and certainly not trivial. Real joy is never trivial to the person who feels it. These two are to be celebrated and admired, not picked apart.

You may remember Jason from his "liberal bisexual double standard" and "blacks are more homophobic than whites" comments. He is batshit crazy.
Congrats to Ellen! She sounds happy.

I absolutely LOVE that she put trivial things in her letter. Her letter is true to her, and to her stand up -- there's little jokes in it about the banality of life. It makes the whole thing WAY more accessible to her fans in the Minivan Majority. AND... she really still shows the awe at the magnitude of what she's done.
LOVE the letter.
LOVE Ellen.
LOVE Portia.
CONGRATULATIONS!

... but did she send me a thank you card for that 15 inch glow in the dark strap on dildo with sapphires from the ming dynasty that i gave her for a wedding present? no.

Why is she sooooo cute? I want to be married someday as well. I hope they have an even more gorgeous life together.

Now now bitches, leave Jason alone. He's simply jealous because he's all by himself in a cave... with only a box of wine some motor oil and a lubed up claw hammer for company. You'd be angry and bitter to if you were popping yourself with the blunt side of a hammer... turn it around Jason, you're supposed to insert the handle, not the claw.

Dear Queen,
I believe one has a year to acknowledge wedding presents. Give her time. I'm sure when you come visit, they'll bring it out of hiding and it will be displayed on the mantel alongside other thoughtful gifts.
I have to wonder, though, how much you spent on it - I worry that "glow in the dark" and "Ming Dynasty" together might indicate that an unscrupulous merchant took advantage of your trusting nature along with your exquisite taste.

PS I enjoy reading your comments. You and Derrick are always worth stopping by for.
