I laughed, and cried. I didn't realize it but they were one of the few gay couples who were able to take advantage of that little donut hole that got filled after 8 when marriage equality still existed.

I've always loved Ellen, and I think I have always hoped she would be more active in the marriage equality movement, although I have still respected her decision to do what she feels she must for herself.

She and Portia are very fortunate to have a legally recognized marriage. I hope perhaps they will realize that enough to put something on the line to make it happen for others in California.

(Edited to change Ellen's wife from an awesome car to an awesome human).
