"The thing about being a gay couple is that in the past you referred to your 'wife' and there was quotation marks around it. There was always that chance that people would kind of snigger about it. But now it's fact, it's law. She's my wife. I get to say that she's my wife. And that's just the way it is."
— Portia de Rossi told Oprah yesterday why marriage matters to gay couples. Portia and her wife Ellen DeGeneres got married in August 2008 and they both appeared on Oprah's show to discuss their relationship and careers.

4They were so cute together on Oprah! I had tears in my eyes when watching the home video footage of their wedding.
5oh wow two other quotes that Ellen said were also great.
Ellen says that being married does feel different than dating. "It feels like you're home. There's an anchor. There's a safety," she says. "We are all equal citizens, and we should have the same right that anybody else on this earth has."
and
"I think I'm healthier than I've ever been. I'm happier than I've ever been. I'm more myself. I can't stress that enough," Ellen says. "I think kindness is the key to yourself and to other people. ... I think I found out who I was, and I think I really try to be a better person every single day. And [Portia] makes me better."
so beautiful.

14Oprah's show doesn't air here but I've seen Ellen's show and she seems to be such a kind and energetic person who cares for other people, it's nice to see she's happy.
So happy for them! I agree - there is a different feeling between marriage and dating. I have always loved Ellen for such a long time - want nothing but the best for her!
