On Tuesday, Ellen welcomed Arizona Senator John McCain. After exchanging views on same sex marriage, Ellen asked if the Senator would walk her down the aisle.
Ellen- It is amazing how brave you are...it gives all people in love, especially two women or men the strength to say,"Us too". Thank you!
Props to Senator McCain for sitting in the hot seat-Brave of him-he had to know that the subject would be discussed-nice to see 2 people respectfully agree to disagree
Wow...to all due respect to senator McCain....I think if he becomes the next President, the U.S. will step further back in time than President Bush has presently sent it. McCain may have had his time in the sun, but this is not it. Its time for him to enjoy his retirement, because I think his future does not look good at all in the White House. He and his running mate are very scary prospects to say the least. When I watch this interview, I see a very meek, mild mannered man that does not have what it takes to run a country like the U.S.
My darling lady and I held a ceremony to announce to the 'world' we had chosen to spend the rest of this life with each other. The ceremony was called a 'Covenant of Love'. That took place in Perth, Western Australia 23 years ago and we are still very much in love and although like all couples we have had our ups and downs we are looking forward to sharing the rest of this life together. Congratulations Ellen and Portia we wish you much........
Love, happiness, peace, compassion and everything else that is good in the world.
We wish you much.
GO ELLEN!!! I can't believe he said "someone EVEN registered you"!!!
People, let's realize it's time for all humans to truly be equal.
McCain is so out of touch with so many of us who he wishes to lead. Let's get our country back... OBAMA '08!
If john mccain and that red neck sarah palin wins the election, the world and the economy will be worse off then ever before. Both of them are a disgrace...
John has been married three times and he and Cindy McCain got married the very month after John and Carol divorced...just imagine...planning for a divorce AND a wedding at the same time...and he supposedly believes in the sanctity of marriage?!!! Also, to the People Magazine reader who said that Michael Phelps should have been on the recent cover instead of Ellen and Portia because “weddings happen every day,” I just want to remind her that same sex weddings rarely happen. These two newlyweds may not have won a gold medal, but they did finally win the legal right to wear a gold band, which represents a very personal celebration, and was the result of many years of hard work, for millions of Americans as opposed to just one athlete. From a different-sex couple to Ellen and Portia, we congratulate you with all of our hearts! And our hearts truly are all the same.
I totally enjoy Ellen. However, there is a certain sanctity to marriage that is lost if it is opened to homosexuality. This country was founded on Biblical principals. It has remained strong. Why remove those principals for fleeting lusts? Morals hold this country together, if those fall, all falls. Same is true with abortion. A life is begun at conception. Our Creator forms us in our mother's womb...from which we all have a destiny and a calling on our life to effect people. Seek the One who created us. He will be found...and He'll amaze you and introduce you to a life where you will feel completely fulfilled.
Ellen!!
I am totally in your favor. Why would gay couples have to be different from straight ones? I believe that we all have the right to defend our love. I'm very happy for you two. Happy Marriage!!!
Now let's hope that all the rights will come with that.
Keep up the good work!! Love your show!!!

Ellen, I too believe that a marriage is between a man and a woman---however I also love you and pray that you and Porsche are happy forever! You sure deserve to be happy!
The "live and let live" creed should extend to all sexes, races, religions, ages and species. Go Vegan.
Hi everyone. To the Lisa's out there let me tell you a personal little story that shows what the problems here is. Why gay couples are always viewed in the prism of their sexuality is beyond me, when just how much sex does any human being really have over a lifetime anyway? Yet how much living & just plain old getting by do we all do, & just who do we love & want to spend these endless hours, days & years with? Who can we talk to, share with, feel close to? Oh, I digress...sorry, my story.
I was in Anytown, Texas with an elderly person that was care taking her son's animals while he was away for sometime. Toward the end of time for him to return a paid pet caretaker was to go by & feed & care for the animals. The elderly woman talked to the paid caretaker on the phone & told me all about their conversation.
This is the conversation as reported to me, after only a few words about how she knew she hadn't done a good job, & this woman (the pet caretaker)wanted her to know she was a lesbin...yes, lesbin!
I said "what makes you think she wanted you to know that" I said? The lady went on, "because she told me HER partner has some such dog." HUH????? I asked? Well, she wanted me to know she was a lesbin! I couldn't stand it any more.....uh do you think she was just telling you about something she knew & included her life like anyone else would when talking about things they know? ..............silence............silence
..."what do you think?" "Well, I guess so" she says.....
Come on people that are always purporting their view on relationships on the billions of people out there.... no one is going to make you gay, it is their life, for pete sake let them live it. I hope those of you predjudiced people understand this whole conversation was caused by a woman using the word "she" in a sentence!?!
One last thing I too am a lebin, LOL, unknown to this woman, a close relative....but guess I have been careful in which pronoun I use.
VERY SAD, very little, very dumb, even more petty, & very none of anyone's business if you like who the other is with....get on with your life & mind your own business. The world is one big crisis after the other, but this is the kind of thing little people that have no solutions focus on.
The law should be all inclusive for all our citizens that are forced to pay taxes for John McSame's war, at least let us have a right to legal protection under the law. Alright? Alright!
Everything Ellen says here is absolutely spot on. Actually everything Senator McSame said was actually true too. Yes, he was saying "respectfully" I believe, that you & "your love" does NOT deserve to sit at the table with us at the established & always accepted group, but hey you can sit at the back of the bus so the love of your life can visit you in the hospital the day you die....legally of course.
I don't care what anyone's religious beliefs are regarding this issue. Laws & inclusiveness to the law should NEVER exclude anyone in regard to who they want to commit their life to.
In close Senator, respectfully, YOU don't get to say who sits at the table. Of course in your life nowdays hardly anyone is at the table but lobbyist. Quite frankly a man who cheated on & left his injured wife, that waited for him for five years, raising his children, to marry someone that could buy him a seat at a VERY ELITE TABLE, should have NO vote on this issue, EVER!!
This clip just goes to show the wit, strength and personal commitment of Ellen and the incredible dancing around the topic tactics of Sen. McCain. How will he make a "change" his running mate still lives in the dark ages and I feel that he only picked her because she can't think for herself! He had a hard time keeping up with Ellen! stutter stutter!!
Hi!!!
I'm from New Zealand I watch Ellen show everyday but I hav'nt seen this one with J. Macain.
I think the man is too old to be president and too old for the 21st centry life style, I mean "he just deos'nt get it" lol
He may have the experience but he doesnt know how to put it into action. Also he doesnt know how to relate to different age group like Barrack does which is very essential for the role as the president of the USA to be able to communicate with different age group of people interm of issues and problem they face economiclly or gloabally.
Thats my opinion on that. Its not my country but I beleive this election will have an effect on the whole world including my little country New Zealand.
Ellen RoCkZ
This man McCAIN is extremely prejudice. He says his campaign is for CHANGE! Phooey! He’s George Bush all over.
Ellen you should have asked Obama to walk you down the aisle - HE WOULD HAVE!
Shame on you McCain!
We are in America correct? This is the land of the FREE correct? Here it is 2008 and we STILL have people like McCain sttempting to pass laws telling AMERICANS who they can and cannot marry. What's next? OBAMA '08!
Everyone has the right to their opinions, however you do not have the right to force your opinion into MY life.

Ellen and Portia: Your faces showed so much love for each other, and all of happiness and joy for each other. I have been married for 46 years and marriage to me is living with your best friend and getting along by compromising with each other for the rest of your lives. Love from me to both of you.
