DeGeneres-de Rossi Wedding Plans
Ellen DeGeneres and long time partner Portia de Rossi had plans for a wedding. This decision was announced by Ellen on her talk show when the California Supreme Court made a ruling in favor of gay marriages.
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.
“Limiting the designation of marriage to a union ‘between a man and a woman’ is unconstitutional and must be stricken from the statute,” California Chief Justice Ron George said.
DeGeneres was taping the episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Thursday, the day the state’s high court struck down California laws against gay marriage, and it was to air Friday, a person close to the production said.
DeGeneres and the glamorous de Rossi have been a familiar couple at Hollywood events, including the Academy Awards. Previously, DeGeneres had a high-profile relationship with actress Anne Heche
In San Francisco, couples immediately began lining up at the city clerk’s office for marriage licences, even though officials said they will not be able to issue any for at least 30 days, when the decision takes effect.
