NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

My fantasies of dating someone that good looking were dashed badly enough when I found out that the actress dating geeky John Cage in Ally McBeal was a lesbian!

Now she and Ellen must demolish my last threads of self-respect by marrying?!?!

Dammit, I knew there was a downside to being a liberal.

Sigh. Have a good life Ellen and Portia.

I guess.

Ah that’s sweet.

Same thing I said when Beyonce married JayZ.
Same thing I said when Mariah Carey married Nick Cannon.

See how simple that was.

If gays marry, its private business between consenting adults, I’m sure the insurance companies do care about providing spousal coverage where they didn’t previously have to.

I do dislike the constant media coverage given a private choice, one which is against many of my many beliefs, however, no one can judge love.

This should be labeled who gives a damn.That her career continues after she defied pickets and worked her show during the writer’s strike is so much more relevant then who she marries.A more appropriate title should have been” Scab Marries”.
