Gay gossips on the marriages of the stars
“It’s a move that sends an important message to the heartland while garnering tons of press for the celebrities themselves…. It’s a ‘good for them and good for me’ kind of action.”
Michael Musto, Village Voice columnist, referring to talk show host Ellen Degeneres’ recent announcement to marry her partner Portia DeRossi (ABC News)
“If Tom Cruise said, ‘Guess what? After all these years, I decided to be gay and get married,’ that’s hugely different. [DeGeneres and Takei are] the types of stars who can afford to do whatever they want with their reputation….”
Ted Cassablanca, an E! network columnist who recently married his partner in a ceremony in Hawaii, commenting on Degeneres and actor George Takei (ABC News)
