    AMANDA……..GOD DOES NOT BLESS AN UNHOLY UNION…..NO WAY, NEVER HAS, NEVER WILL. PERIOD.

  • Patty in Utah

    I agree with the comment : wife, NO. partner OK. So sad to see where the country is heading accepting gay marriage. Let people be with whoever they want… but no gay marriage please.

  • Dicker

    Waste of snatches

  • oddmonkey

    Yay! Congrats to Ellen & Portia! Best of luck!

  • dick

    hey, maybe ellen has us all fooled, maybe she has something that looks like my name!

  • Maria

    What is GOD saying about this? Don’t die in your sins and you won’t have to find out. Mankind has it all twisted!!! GOD’S righteousness still stands!!! And this ain’t no way right!

  • Dicker

    Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise… Another worthless couple. Oops! I better watch my mouth so those aliens don’t come and get me!

  • Snapdragon

    I am glad they won a poll, but to read the comments here is truely saddening to see human ignorance hasn’t diminished. We as a race can not even get past racism let alone accepting gay couples. To many religious beliefs and not enough understanding of the religions origins itself. Before you blast people for expressing themselves think of this , what if it were you how would you want others to feel towards you.

  • Elissa Lynn

    Dot — WWJD??? He would probably give you a swift kick. Jesus loves everyone. And I wouldn’t push your luck — he can change his mind. He doesn’t like hate mongers — they are sick! sick! sick!

    Amanda — ditto for you. God created us and God loves us. Read the 10 commandments. Is there anything negative there about a person loving another person? That’s all we are — personss who love.

    Get a life and stop casting stones. Judge not, lest you be judged.

  • sam

    It is saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.
    Sad to see people together with the same sex, and it’s wrong.
    Ellen is funny but if you really pay attention when she talks, She’s kinda mentally ill.
    Gay people to me are sick in the head fo’ real.

  • Elissa Lynn

    Snapdragon: Nicely put. People are so wrapped up in their “religion” they have forgotten that religion isn’t just about believing. It’s about working God’s will. Don’t lie, cheat, steal — but for heaven’s sake “Love.” God gave us “free will” — we are exercising our right. Sometimes I feel like I’m still living in the 60′s –”all gay people get to the back of the bus”

  • dennis

    gays have rights too…. the right to sign themselves in pilgrim

  • Elissa Lynn

    Wow you guys are so crude. You know why you are called ___heads? Becasue you all think with your ____s. Do you think love is just about sex??? Give me a break. When was the last time you had any? Love is about companionship, mutual respect, love, sharing, being supportive. Sex is a very small part of the length of a relationship. How many of you practice that? Go back under the rock you came out from under. This is a new world. A world of acceptance, tolerance and mutual respect. If you can’t stand the heat — go to another planet!

  • JD

    Congrats to Ellen for the PETA award…….and congrats to both
    Ellen and Portia for a wonderful relationship!!

    To WWJD……………He loves all……he doesn’t pick and choose….and you should be glad of that……you just might not be the chosen you think you are.

    Nothing as “unChristian” as those that are judgmental and mean in the name of Christianity. Who do you people think you are, anyway…..the second coming?

    Get a life and quit judging people……..you make me ill, but I do feel very sorry for you. How pathetic your lives must be to be so hateful. Next time you pray, pray that God touches you so that you become what he wants you to….and trust me you are not even close at this point in time to what his word really means.

  • bob hope

    Hello people, for those of you that are judging those that are judging, are your not judging? Since when is it wrong to say something is wrong? If you read your bible you would not have a question whether gay marriage is wrong. You would definitely know that it is wrong, nasty and God hates it. It seems that the only thing that non Christians or fake Christians can say is don’t judge. Read the whole bible dont take the bible out of context. Any way dont judge me for saying that Gay marriage is super nasty and wrong. Dont hate me for speaking the truth. Dont judge me you follower of self and the world. Dont be a hater. I know gay marriage is wrong, I have read my bible. Let me ask you a question if someone had a serious infection and I know that they are sick who is the bad one the one that saids what ever or the one that saids to care of the infection because it will eventually kill you. The true haters are the ones that will let those that are sick die instead of living. Thank You and have a nice day.

  • Dennis

    PARTNERs “YES”—- Married NO! In the eyes of the LORD!
    Gay you will stay. But NEVER to enter the Gods house.

  • Mike P.

    Congratulations to Ellen and Portia!!! I think it’s fantastic and I hope the day comes when we don’t judge people by sexual orientation, religion, race, etc. Ellen and Portia seem to be good, talented people so they deserve all the success in the world. COngrats again!!!!!

  • leah

    Some of you are nothing but a bunch of ignorant haters! Come on already, I see more straight couples that can’t stand each other or stay married. Yet we judge a gay couple who actually loves each other…makes no sense!

  • Kandi

    Ok. First, to all you haters. No matter what religion you are, I bet your god or jesus doesn’t promote hate, and if they do, then I want nothing to do with a them. You say that marriage was written as the oppposite sexes together. Well in the same time that was written, slavery was still practiced. So according to the same logic we should still have slavery? No. Times change, and people change too. Maybe you should open your mind and heart alittle more. Second, to a all who believe as I do. We will see a day one day where marriage is simply a union. Where the sex of the couple doesn’t matter. We shall overcome!……Love you Ellen!!!

  • cupidinlove

    that’s what happens when twin flames find themselves in this life, no matter what people say or think, they will always find a way to love each other, but we as Humans should not wait to find our twinflame, we should still love each other because that love is the one that will joint us to the love of our twinflame wherever she or he is. Love each other people, love, love, and love, stop judging God is there for that, all you have left is to love. Good for both of them and for all the people that love!
    Love you all…
    cupidinLove

  • Susan Ross

    WWJD?!? I know what He would NOT do! He would not make 10% of humankind gay, and then inform them that they were sinners. That would be a rather sick joke on God’s part!. He would be saddened that his followers judged, and hated His creation.

  • Tru

    I am always amazed to hear the “good christians” when they speak againist others. Please tell me how you know G-d says it is wrong. I know your Jesus said “cast not the first stone, look unto ourself first” seems your religion is failing you as you strike out against others. Good thing you live in the good ole US of A. Otherwise you would be tracked down and lots of stones thrown at you. Look within yourselves and make yourselves better and kinder people.

  • bob hope

    In response to Mike p – Yeah I to hope that one day obedience, fleshly desires and fulfilling them wont matter. I hope that no self control , no dignity, and doing what ever we want will be accepted. I hope that my carnal flesh will live and do what ever. That is what you are saying. I hope that the world has the Godly knowledge to know that sin is sin. God hates Sin. Sin effects us all. Dont say something bad is good, and dont say something good is bad. Most of the people that are telling you that this behavior is wrong are right in telling you this. The bible called gay relations a horrible thing , that brings consequences.

  • bob hope

    Tru – Read your bible
    Romans first chapter

  • ProgressiveOne

    “And this ain’t no way right!” Maria, what is God saying about your English grammar? I’m sure Ellen would be more than happy to set you up with a good tutor.

    CONGRATULATIONS ELLEN AND PORTIA!!!
    MAY YOU CONTINUE TO PUSH FORWARD.

  • Gspot

    You go girl (boy???)! Ellen, really come out of the closet and show us your banana nestled between the tea bags!

  • bob hope

    The lady that was caught in adultery. Repented and Jesus told her to sin no more!

  • bob hope

    Progressive one – Distinguish what is important then you can push forward. Pushing in the wrong direction,is not good. Get to know Jesus. The fear of God is the beginning of knowledge

  • cupidinlove

    oh wait a minute, I thought God was Love!!! but all I read in here is that God hates sin, gays, etc??? all of you that believe that God hates, see yourself before judging people, you are haters, not God. If we are all energy, or soul, what can’t you see beyond the body? If we could see with the eyes of reality we will see energy flowing, and there will be no gays, nor white, blacks, red, etc, only energy flowing, this is how you got to see people, not their body or skin color, but the energy manifested in Love. God doesn’t hate, humans don’t hate, we are made out of Love, but the evil has blinded us showing that we humans hate, we are made of God’s image, and God is Love, well, helloo, hate does not exist in God’s World, which is also, my world.
    Love you all, again…
    cupidinlove

  • Me

    Susan Ross – God did not make 10% of humankind gay only to inform them they were sinners. What God did was give all of his children free will to make their own decisions and then gave us a guide to live by so that we would know HIS will.

  • Ann

    I think that Ellen and Portia are a wonderfull couple an most certainly deserve the most popular couple award. Ellen is an AMAZING person who is kind and and cares about everyone she knows and Portia is the same way so Ellen and Portia truly should be the most popular couple award because not only do they love and care about one another but they care about everyone else too.

  • Me

    cupidinlove – Yes, it does speak in the bible that our God does in fact, hate. The essential message is love and leaving all final judgement to Him, but make no mistake, it mentions his hate in the Bible.

  • bob hope

    They do not love each other. They are unable to love each other, because that love is from unnatural lustful ambitions. So please don’t tell me that they are happy, because you can’t go against the word of God. Ellen and Portia shame on you , repent and be forgiven. Take those dispicable sins off your soul repent to progress and be whole. See your, take care folks.

    P.S for those that say do not judge , then don’t judge me for telling the truth. smile.

  • http://Yahoo Jay

    I do not discriminate against minorities, but being homosexual is a sin. I think Ellen and portia should not only knock it off, but people should quit making heroes out of them because the are lesbians. Being gay is NOT a beautiful thing readers, you need to quit egging those “Woman” on.
    Freedom of the press is respected, but not when you make heroes out of 2 women who marry each other and allow their pet dog to go “Bowsy Wowsy”. Wise up Ellen and Portia, this homosexual thing is not funny.

  • Ann

    Everyone has the ability love one another no matter who they are or where they are from, That is on of the greatest gifts of humankind and should never be doubted!!!!

  • bob hope

    Cupid , man ,dude you don’t have a clue. Go find a Good Christian friend. Are you like super young or something. It’s like you come up with these ideas for no apparent reason. Where are all your thoughts coming from? Don’t work on instincts we are not animals. Don’t talk about spiritual things when all you do is fulfill your flesh.

  • bob hope

    Ann where did you come up with that idea? What ever, speaking from your heart is not a good thing, especially if your heart is evil.

  • http://Yahoo Jay

    Why don’t the people in this world STOP thinking it is so beautiful that 2 lezzies are married. Ellen and Portia, knock it off, homosexuality is a mortal sin!.
    Freedom of the press is one thing, but next, you will be bragging how Ellen and Portia have trained thier dog to say “Bowsy Wowsy”.
    I am not predjuice against minorities, but being homosexual is a sin, the public should stop making heroes out of them.

  • bob hope

    Good post Jay

  • Ann

    Ellen+Portia=Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Susan Ross

    To Me….

    Yes…we also have free will to learn and educate ourselves. God gave us intelligence so that we can hopefully overcome ignorance. Did you know that ALL life has a 10% gay percentage? So you think it is a decision? Don’t delude yourself. All living things and people are simply born straight or gay.

  • http://Yahoo Jay

    I feel that both Ellen and Portia should go back “Into the closet”, and somebody should nail the dang closet door shut.
    I am a Christian, can I supply the hammer and the nails?

  • cupidinlove

    there was once a dog that had a rabbit friend, they grew up together, the owners of the dog and the rabbit were neighbors, the owners of the rabbit at first were hesitant about letting the dog and the dog be friends, the dog might eat the rabbit, right? one day when the labrador was 10 months old, the rabbit owners went on vacation. the next day they left, the owners of the labrador found the rabbit all full of blood and dirty and dead. They cleaned up the rabbit and washed the blood from it and put it back in their neighbors home, and they beat up the dog so bad, and were ashamed that their dog killed the rabbit. when the neighbors returned from vacation, they were surprise to see the rabbit cleaned, how could it happen? if they had buried the rabbit which died the day before they went on vacation. The dog’s owners didn’t know what to say. all they knew is that they realized that their dog, had missed its friend, the rabbit, and unbarried it, and they beat up their dog thinking it killed the rabbit. why is this? Because they judged the dog, before finding out the truth! why the dog did this? Because he loved his childhood friend. Stop judging, is all I got to say.
    I love you all, again, and again.

  • Ivan

    Can someone explain to me how a straight couple that never enters a church, gets married by a justice of the peace, and never has children is in anyway different from a gay couple? Yet they are “married”!

  • cupidinlove

    bob hope, actually I already got a good cristian friend, you might know him, but I doubt it, his name is Jesus.

  • Me

    I am in no way qualified to preach scripture to anyone, however; I feel most of the ones speaking the loudest know the least regarding the Word set forth for us from Christ. This makes me sad. Yes, Susan… it IS a decision. We are ALL given obstacles in our lives to overcome to bring us closer to God. Human attraction knows no carnal boundaries, they are all sins of the flesh. Am I saying that I haven’t fallen short? Of course I have. Pre-marital sex is a sin. And, a sin is a sin is a sin. We all make our decisions based on knowledge and it is unfortunate that sometimes the ignorance of certain accepatances is the cornerstone of our downfall as a human race.
    Cupid – That story, as lovely as it was intended to be, proves my point even further. You say they beat the dog because they judged without knowing the truth. Well, we all DO know the truth…as it is written. It is just taht some of us are more willing to accept the truth instead of fitting our lives to God’s will most want God to bend to theirs. Sorry folks, it just doesn’t work that way. So, those who are not politically correct and stand firm in their Christain beliefs of right and wrong are beaten down. Same thing, isn’t it?

  • cupidinlove

    To You (Me)
    You see the rainbow, and we know is an Illusion. We see the sunset and is an illusion. We see the stars moving from east to west, and is an illusion. How do you know, then, that your truth is the actual true? because the bible says it? then why is it so hard to believe Jesus that death does not exist when himself resucitated and Lazarus, too? You either believe in the bible or not. is not only about what part of it you want to believe, is Believing!
    Love you too, Me.

  • bemo

    Um… Mr. or Mz. “Perfekt”
    Not sure where you get off judging this couple, or the entire U.S. Growing pains hurt and with the U.S. still trying to eek through puberty, it is understandable that you and people like you are scared and think that this country is “dying in hell.” Personally, I call it evolution. Love is Love is Love, baby.

  • Eli

    You Dick Heads are making the males look ugly. I think the women that think like you just might just like your’e little —-’s.

    As a parent of a gay child, I believe that she was born homosexual. Some might choose this lifestyle, but I knew from an early age that my daughter was gay. I will love and support her until I take my last breath. I am not here to “preach” what is right or wrong. None of us are perfect. We all have different opinions of what is right or wrong, and I respect those opinions. I only wanted to share my opinion that as a parent of a gay child, I KNOW she was born homosexual.
    Blessings to all.

  • me

    The comment by “ME”. I couldnt have said it better…You are so right! God did give us all free will to make our own decisions and then gave us a guide (religions)to live by so that we would know HIS will. Every person will come before God and be judged from what they believed to be right or wrong in their own life. Who is to say what is right or wrong for someone else….Look in the mirror before casting stone on others….GOD is LOVE not hate!

  • Jason

    Ellen is obviously “the husband” in this relationship. Is that the deal with all lesbian couples – one is “the husband”, and the other “the wife”? If so, why doesn’t Portia get herself a real husband? One with the right equipment?

  • http://dancersunite.net/ Dancer

    They’re a really cute couple so I’m glad they won!

  • Jen Hess

    I like Ellen, and I think Portia is absolutely gorgeous. It is too bad for men that Portia prefers women. The Holy Bible teaches us to love one another, but that does not mean that forbidden same-sex relationships are acceptable. Read the Holy Bible. It is forbidden for a man to lay with another man and a woman to lay with another woman. That will never change. God still loves these sinners just like he loves every other sinner, but it is still a sin. God forgives such sins, but that does not make it right to keep committing the sin.

  • Jen Hess

    In response to Ivan’s posting: the difference is God intended marriage to be between a man and a woman.

  • caby

    i can’t see how you can say you are a christian or a God loving person or you hate sin or even brag about reading the bible when the words that come out of your mouth are full of hate and prejudice. try to read your comments several times so that you may realize what kind of person you really are.

  • eRiKa

    Yei for Ellen and Portia!!!

  • godslovinlezzi2

    well, it’s wonderful to know that our school system is still turning out uneducated, close-minded bigots. I’m well educated lesbian and I go to church, my children go to church and I’ve read my bible several times over and I’ve yet to come across a verse that saysit has to be between a man and woman..my bible says he loves everybody and Let marriage be held in honor among ALL, and let the marriage be undefiled, i dont know about u but ive never cheated on my spouse, because fornicators and adulterers he WILL judge.So i say to u if u get divorced u r to be celibate until u die or he will judge u.
    and a little not to Mariella I hope we dont make u sick enough to go to the hospital because u never know who could be helping u get better.I am a Christian, a Nurse and a proud Lesbian..I will pray for u all. God loves us all

  • Really?

    Really, I’m here looking for Ellen Portia stuff and the comments here amuse me to no end.

    As I find that your passionate interjections are hard to keep me interested, let me make my position clear to you all: I’m for it. I’m for being yourself, diversity, for everyone having the same basic rights. Since when is humans not created equally?

    To everyone, please please please check your grammar and spelling. They make whatever argument you pitched deemed like a worthless 5 seconds trolling. Or maybe you are.

    Haters gotta hate.

    And please, what authority do you have to label homosexuality as “sin” or “sick”, to name a few. Look at how the Bible’s intepretation was spun around in Dan Brown’s works, are you sure yours is the only way God’s words can be understood?

    Marriage is an union of 2 people who are dedicated to each other. Denying that in the name of fairness? I don’t understand you at all.

    Haters gotta hate. So keep hating until you can never escape that abyss of bigotry.

    Thanks for the time loss, trolls
