Rosie O’Donnell, T.R. Knight put off legalized wedding bells
“We’re going to wait until it’s legal everywhere, because otherwise, I said to Kelli, we’ll be going around touring the country on the marriage tour every state by state…. The same way it was illegal for black and white people to marry at one point and people couldn’t conceive of that ever being different, I do think that two consenting, law-abiding adults who want to share their life together should be allowed to do that.”

”It was never an option [before]…. You realize more when something like [the Supreme Court decision] happens that you’ve been treated like second-class citizens. But it’s simply a matter of our rights and freedom…. I haven’t been planning on [a fantasy wedding], so I don’t know…. I don’t have one of those books made up. I’m going to have to give that some thought.”
