Kudos to Portia de Rossi for speaking up and out recently on same sex marriage during an appearance on The View.  Portia appeared on The View last week, primarily to promote the upcoming season premiere of her show Better Off Ted.

I don’t know about you but I’ve loved Portia since her Ally McBeal days.  It’s great seeing another lesbian, indeed, in this case, one of those lesbians who, in the old days, was characterized as ‘not looking like a lesbian’ – become more known.  We’ve been getting to know Ellen for so long now, it’s refreshing seeing Portia develop her public identity.   She’s come a long way in that regard.

As an ardent supporter of committed relationships, I love to hear ‘celesbians’ like Portia talk about marriage in such a positive way.  I think Portia’s whole demeanor shows that allowing gays to marry just might bring a ‘marriage renaissance’ to our world, countering the cynicism that pervades, when it comes to promising forever to someone.  We all know what a tall order that can be, especially in Hollywood.  I wish Portia and Ellen all the best!
