Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi to marry after gay ban is lifted

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi are reportedly planning to marry after the Supreme Court of California overturned the state’s ban on same-sex marriage.

According to an audience member at the Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday, Ellen announced the couple’s plans before inviting Portia to join her on-stage, where they hugged: “Everyone was delighted for them and the cheering was deafening.”

The show will air in the US today. No further details were given as to when the nuptials will take place: weddings will be legal in the state from 14th June 2008.
