Rosie O'Donnell confirmed to USA Today that her relationship with her wife of five years, Kelli, is on the rocks and they may break up.

Rosie and Kelli, a former Nickelodeon executive, have been together since 1997, and their relationship has been marked several times over the years by rumors of a split. Back in 2003, The National Enquirer reported the Kelli left Rosie after … Read More

In many ways, 2009 might appear to be a red-letter year for supporters of gay rights. In addition to being the year in which Iowa, Vermont and Maine will begin (or have already started) to allow same-sex couples to marry, it is also the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots (which served as the birth of the modern gay rights movement), and the beginning of a new era in the White House — led by a young president who's promised to repeal the policy barring openly gay people from serving in the military.

It could just be our imagination, but it seems like the gay marriage movement keeps pushing forward. With one more state allowing same-sex marriage, one former federal official supporting same-sex marriage and a plethora of other states also tackling the issue, news on the topic is not likely to taper off anytime soon. Maybe more officials will stop being Dick... Cheneys and actually follow the former veep's lead. 

New Hamsphire legalizes same-sex marriage

David Hyde Pierce, who played fussy psychiatrist Dr. Niles Crane on Frasier for eleven seasons and won four Emmys for his work, appeared on The View last Thursday to discuss his recent marriage, to TV producer Brian Hargrove, and last week's decision by the California Supreme Court to ban future gay marriages. "I was sitting in front of my television wondering, 'Gee, I hope it's okay the Supreme Court thinks I'm married.' Excuse me, it's none of your business," he said.

David and Brian were married in October, 25 years into their relationship. David had previously spent years being … Read More

Since gay couples can't have children, they shouldn't marry. Or so goes the ruling in more than a few states.

So far, same-sex marriage is only legal in three states: Connecticut, Massachusetts and Iowa. Although it will be legal in Vermont on September 1, and in Maine on September 14, the rest of the country is convinced that gay marriage is a contradiction in terms.

If the purpose of marriage, they say, is  to make babies, then how can anyone other than a man and a women be legally married? Read More

According to the LA Times, California's Supreme Court has voted 6 to 1 to uphold the controversial Proposition 8 addendum to California Law. The law narrows the definition of marriage to a single man and a single woman.

The bill was part of the November 4th (Super-duper Tuesday for Barack Obama backers) ballot and featured millions and millions of dollars in donations from both sides of the gay marriage issue.

While it comes as very little surprise that the court upheld the law (which overturned a previous court decision codifying same-sex unions), they unanimously agreed … Read More

It appears Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are not only back together, but are ready to make their relationship permanent. The National Enquirer is reporting that, despite the frequent fights and almost monthly break-ups, Lindsay is planning to covert to Judaism to please her future wife. 

It's hard to say which family will be less pleased about this news.  Lindsay's father, Michael, has been vocal about his dislike for Sam, and Ronson's family tried to obtain a restraining order preventing Lohan from coming anywhere near them.

According to the National Enquirer (via PopCrunch) a source said, "Lindsay says Sam's promised … Read More

Wanda Sykes, who brought the house down at Saturday's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, didn't show a bit of the exhaustion she must have been feeling. The Curb Your Enthusiasm star's wife of seven months, Alexandra, gave birth to fraternal twins on April 27, and we have heard that two-week-old babies can be a lot of work, so we now have even more respect for the splendid performance she turned in at the dinner.

Wanda and Alex named their new son Lucas Claude and daughter Olivia Lou, which are super adorable and normal baby names that … Read More

Not that anyone watches the Miss USA Pageant any more, but you may recall a flap about Miss California. It had something to do with Judge Perez Hilton (no, it is the same one you're thinking of who draws ding dongs on people and tries to out gay celebs) being really unhappy with her answer regarding gay marriage. After which, the entire country came unglued (we kid, most people said, "Meh, wake me up when Angelina Jolie adopts an alien.")

At any rate, Miss California (Carrie Prejean) has since been called all sorts of mean names (one of … Read More
