While that's certainly true in a relative sense - can you imagine Rock Hudson doing the same? - the NY Times ran an article this weekend on the challenges facing out actors in Tinseltown. …For most gay actors, Hollywood is not a warm and fuzzy episode of “Will & Grace.” Today, it is certainly more acceptable to be openly gay. But these actors must still answer wrenching questions: Just how candid do you want to be? Would you be happy appearing only in comedies, or being pigeonholed as a character actor? And what does the line “You’re just not right for the role” really mean? That's not true for Ellen, sure, but that doesn't mean she's using her celebrity to help the homos. This picture, taken on Sunday, comes from a "Yes on Prop. 2" event that Ellen and Portia hosted. Proposition 2 is for the rights of farm animals. Though she's spoken out against Proposition 8, which would overturn gay marriage, Ellen has yet to donate or raise money for the cause. [Image] |

Yet despite all the good she's done for gay rights in California, there's a rumbling from other Proposition 8 opponents who say DeGeneres needs to contribute more. |

Ellen DeGeneres is just so generous! The lesbian funny lady used her talk show yesterday to run some behind-the-scenes footage of her wedding to Portia de Rossi. It's possibly the cutest thing we've ever seen and these girls are by far our favorite gay couple in history. Watch Ms. D's monologue on the matter, after the jump… |

Donna Summer's "Bad Girl "always makes us think of Portia de Rossi. Not because de Rossi's a prostitute, but because of her wet t-shirt cage dance on Arrested Development*. Ellen, you're a lucky girl. *If anyone can find a clip of that scene, we'd be forever grateful. |

The lovely lesbians made honest women of one another when they tied the knot at their Beverly Hills Mansion Saturday: De Rossi, 35, wore a backless, light pink dress, and her hair in a loose updo. DeGeneres, 50, dressed in pants, button-up shirt and vest — all in white. [Both by Zac Posen.] No word on where the ladies will be taking their honeymoon, but we suggest the Greek Isles… |

[The women] will wed this weekend in California, Usmagazine.com has learned exclusively. Not to mention a fine female specimen. That Portia be hot! |

First and foremost, DeGeneres won her fourth Daytime Emmy this weekend for "best talk show host," because people just love a lesbian chatter box. While Portia didn't take home a trophy, the absolutely gorgeous actress did have a bobble of her own: a pink diamond engagement ring for the gals' forthcoming gay marriage, according to People: [DeGeneres] gave Portia de Rossi a glittering ring with pink diamonds for their upcoming wedding that will air in part on DeGeneres's talk show. Gawd! Being a lesbian sounds so glamorous! (Except for the vaginal bit…) [Image] |
