Yep, you're a homophobe and it is YOU that is just plain wrong.

What is the difference between civil union and marriage except the name. Why does anyone actually care if gays actually get equal rights? People that discriminate make me sick. How do you like being a prejudice idiot? Does it make you happy to know that you put other people down? Whats the use even asking that because it probably does make you feel like a better person than others. That's what discrimination is all about right?

Ellen lived in Texas; I saw her in Houston at the Laff Stop in 1982. I watch her talk show on occasion. Don't know much about Portia. Hedison is the daughter of David Hedison, star of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - one of my childhood favorites (still watch it Thursdays on ALN network).

I don't see how anyone can hate these people and wish to deny them happiness.

I could not possibly care less about Ellen getting married.

I have no idea why it angers people so much.

Default Legal Interpretation

Does the ruling address divorces? Would Ellen's ex have the same right to her fortune as an opposite sex partner would? Are there any legal precidents? Would there be child support issues if there was an adopted child? How about spousal abuse issues? Will insurance companies have to offer family rates to couples?

It would be the same as with male/female couples. Why would it be different?

No, what is wrong is people like Brittany Spears being married for only 72 hours or people having 5,6,7 or more ex-spouses.
