Ellen and Portia - null and void?

The newlyweds' union in trouble

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi

Almost as soon as the ink on their wedding certificate dried, it appears that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's wedding might be null and void.

Fear not - the loved-up couple aren't divorcing, but Californians passed a law on Tuesday banning gay marriage, leaving the state of Ellen and Portia's union in limbo.

Ellen, who wed Portia just three months after California legalised gay marriage, is devastated by the news.

"Barack Obama is our new President. Change is here. I, like millions of Americans, felt like we had taken a giant step toward equality.

"This morning, when it was clear that Proposition 8 had passed in California, I can't explain the feeling I had. I was saddened beyond belief."

PLUS: Hollywood's loved-up lesbians!

YOUR SAY: Should everyone have the same rights to marriage?

We are a world so open to change, the world is evolving into a beautiful free society...Why slip back now into olden times. To all those people out there who believe they know whats best...you DON'T!!!! Everybody has a choice, gay marriages in my opinion are and should be legal. They are a beautiful commitment of one person to another, whoever it's to. If you don't like it, ignore it, don't fight it!!  Report thisReport this

Eevryone should have the right to marry the person they love and want to spend the rest of their lives with. Just because you dont want to marry someone from the opposite sex doesnt mean you should miss out!!!  Report thisReport this

Of course everyone should have the same rights to marriage... it's ridiculous that two women and two men can't marry... they have the right to show the world that they love each other forever...  Report thisReport this

About time poloticians realised God's moral code hasn't changed, he made man & woman to compliment each other with the capacity to show that love by having children in the way he designed. People who challenge God's code remember Sodom & Gomorah.  Report thisReport this
