Ellen and Portia to marry

Awww ... love is in the air! And how nice is it when two people in love regardless of gender can get married and share a life together? It's very nice, I tell ya.

This from news.com.au:

An audience
member at the Ellen DeGeneres Show told TMZ.com that DeGeneres made the announcement today as the show was being taped with de Rossi, an actor, watching in the sidelines.

Fans erupted into applause, giving the pair a standing ovation.

It came after California's Supreme Court effectively left same-sex couples in America's most populous state free to tie the knot.

In an opinion that analysts say could have nationwide implications, the seven-member panel voted 4-3 in favour of plaintiffs who argued that restricting marriage to men and women was discriminatory.

The California Supreme Court ruling is going to reverberate for awhile. Let's hope people have evolved some and are willing to better listen to the Court's reasons for finding in gay couples' favor.
