Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi Wedding: Cougar Catch of the Week

you go, ellen and portia! ellen you used to play an activist on the touring circuit. you are a sly and lovable one.

Bravo, congrats, and all the other wishes for a magical special day and life together.

Everybody needs somebody! I can’t understand why some people get more bent out of shape by other people’s choices of somebodies than they do about, for example, child abuse and poverty.

i wish the happy couple well and look forward to the day when same sex unions are just another happy celebration of love—as they so rightly ought to be.
cheers ellen & portia

Congratulations to Ellen and Portia! What a happy day - couldn’t happen for a nicer couple.

Two lovely ladies in love….such a sweet couple! I sure wish I could be at that wedding!

Be happy and congratulations!

I am strongly opposed to same sex marriage. I believe it derails the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman. I am also appalled that the media puts so much focus on sex in general, and on same sex unions specifically. Worse are the celebrities themselves who overtly flaunt their lifestyles, the Ellen Degeneres’ and the Rosie ODonnell’s, and talk show celebrities like Oprah, who seem to rally support for same sex unions as a choice - the same as heterosexual unions. I am also fed up with those who might label me homophobic because of what I believe. I simply feel that marriage should exist between a man and a women, and that this ethic must be preserved.

I gave serious thought to whether I would or would not post my comments on this subject, however I decided to post my beliefs on this subject because of an incident which occurred several weeks ago.

My fifteen year old niece and I were talking about returning to school following her summer recess. We began talking about dating. I was taken aback about her quiet reflection on the matter. She was telling me about how few boys her age seemed focus. What she said next overwhelmed me. She stated, “If I can’t find the right boyfriend, I think I might date a girl.” Her comment was so matter-of-fact, so ‘natural’, I was simply stunned.

Troubled by my niece’s ‘revelation’, I asked a psychologist friend of mine if this type of thinking was normal. What he told me was shocking. Apparently, research shows that young preteen girls are experiencing same sex relationships more than ever before. Some of these girls admit that this is a preference because there is no fear of becoming pregnant, and many admit that they are influence by the influence of the media, and of the popularity of celebrities like Ellen Degeneres. To say that the media bears no responsibility on the prevalence of gay and lesbian behavior among the young is, in my opinion undeniable.

While I believe firmly that the fundamental civil rights of all people must be upheld, I think that sensible guidelines respective to marriage law should not be compromised, and that in the interest of insuring integrity to persevere the concept of the family … and ultimately the community at large, society should have clearly defined ethos as to what is or is not appropriate by which to govern itself.

I disapprove of same sex marriage, and I feel sorrow for our young people who have become so confused about important moral issues, which they should innatly know. And, I feel aghast respective to the degree by which our young people are influenced by the powerful messages they ingest through the media.

Ellen DeGeneres knows full well that many young girls watch her show. As such, I find her announcement reckless, irresponsible, and … immoral.
