Even though I'm christian, I'm not against same-sex marriage. Its about who you are and what is inside you. You can't change that fact.. I'm so happy for both Ellen and Portia. They look great and definitely deserve each other.

Claire, Singapore,

People are people & we all have the same feelings no matter if we are gay, straight, black, white or purple. The choices people make are their own & have no impact on anyone else & nor should anyone else care what goes on in the lives of others. LEAVE THEM ALONE & LET THEM LIVE THE LIFE THEY WANT!!!

Angela, Toronto, Canada

Congratulations.
Just because the love is between two people of the same sex, does not mean that this love worth less. I am not sure if having a partner of the same sex is a choice. For me, it is not. The amazing thing is I prayed and asked God to show me the way to happiness, and i met her.

Excuse me... I am very confused. What ever happened to the 10 commandments. What Ellen and all of California is doing is wrong. You will know what I mean if you don't repent and spend eternity in hell. You'll wish that you listened to all of the Christians of today. KSK

Thank you Reverend Williams, it is so nice to read comments like yours from someone in the church.
Whatever people think of homosexuality we don't deserve to be judged for who we are. We deserve to be left to love who we love.

Congrats Portia and Ellen

Just because same sex couples cannot anatomically have children does not mean they should not have the right to get married. There should be no judge. All that should matter is the people are happy and willing to spend there lives together. Everyone should get that right. Congrats to the both ofthem

I may be a little dense, but I don't understand the concern> More power to them and I wish them luck in their future

Divorce rates are high in this country, unfortunately. But that doesn’t mean a man and a woman shouldn't marry. I don’t fully understand the attraction that same-sex feel. But, I do know it is unnatural. Two women, anatomically, cannot naturally produce a baby . Voters voted. Judges should honor it.

Congrats Ellen and Portia!!!! All the best wishes!!!

Gay's are our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, daughter and sons and our friends and co workers. I am so proud of my gay daughter, it takes courage to be who you were meant to be. How dare you say she should have less rights than you. Shame on you.

susan , harbeson, de,

Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord no matter what your belief was while here on this earth. Same sex marriage is not biblical. Justice will be served upon judgement day once we are no longer of this earth. We are called upon to love one another as well.

My best friend throughout high school was gay. He spent countless nights crying because he didn't feel like he fit in. He use to tell me that he "hated being gay", and "wished" that he "wasn't like this".

Homosexuals aren't sad. Intolerance is sad. Get a gay friend.

John Ross, Munhall, United States of America

doesn't God taught us to love one another, that's the main thing

Sinh, garden grove,

Congratulations to Ellen! I do not believe being gay is a choice one makes. You are born either gay, straight, or bisexual. Hey, Nancy, did you choose to be straight? I have a couple gay friends and they all have told me that they knew they were different when they were as young as 5 years old.

Allie, San Antonio , USA

Yay! Good for them!! They have the right to make that decision just like any of us do!! People need to open their minds and close their mouths. Everyone has their own beliefs and we live in a free country. Good luck to both of them!

Cassidy, Bountiful, United States

Nancy, your post makes *me* sick to my stomach.

Casey, Hamburg, Germany

So happy for them. I love Ellen, she is the coolest.

Mary, Mankato, United States

This is a HUGE milestone for gays and human rights. GOD does not run our country, free citizens do. As such, those citizens should be allowed to live their life in any way they choose. We should celebrate love, whomever it may be between and people who disagree should simply mind their own business.

Sara, San Diego, USA

It is sooooooo sad. This goes against every thing that GOD has taught us that is wrong. I get sick to my stomach thinking about.People are not born gay. Its a choice that they make to live that way. The bible says that too. I hope that it does get overturned.

I believe that in this day and age - two adults should be able to pick and choose who and what makes them happy in their lives-
Why is it up to Congress, Church or anyone else to dictate what and who excites you, makes you happy, brings that special smile to their hearts and lips-
