Ellen DeGeneres, she of the popular TV show and tolerable lesbianism, was outed as a member of the gay media who has not given money to a group trying to bring down Proposition 8, the bill to stymie a homosexual couple's right to marry.

But even though she has no personal stake in gay rights (unless the Nanny is lining up to be the next shrill-voiced Samantha Ronson), Fran has been outspoken as always for the case for same-sex marriage, "…It's simply un-American not to be tolerant of different lifestyles. If you wanna live in a single-minded, religious-based country you're in the wrong place."

Nice idea, especially the part about celebrating the right to marry by throwing a bash with your ex-husband. Since gays should have the right to divorce, too.
