Portia and Ellen Celebrate 10 Years!

In a society such as ours that we live in today, it is easy for us to cave into peer pressure and feel down about our decisions if the public doesn't agree with them. As hard as it is to be a teenager, I can't imagine the pressure as a celebrity! However that doesn't seem to be the case or problem when it comes to Portia and Ellen, recently spending 10 years together as a lesbian couple! Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against gay people! That's in fact why I find it so inspiring to hear that after all of the pressure and sly comments they have heard that they are still going strong! I guess love does that to people though, am I right?

I'm sure by now everyone that lives and breathes on planet earth has watched (or at least heard of) Ellens's show, Ellen Degenerous. Besides her tremendous outstretched arms for those in need and her impressive talk show hosts that vary every show, she never forgets to mention her loving wife every chance she gets. Their kind of love is inspiring (gay or not) I think we could all learn a valuable lesson from Ellen and Portia's relationship as a whole throughout the past decade. If  anything they have taught us that with love and commitment a couple can get through just about anything (and lets be honest theirs has to be pretty strong to be still holding on). Ignoring all of the ignorant comments and getting past all the arguments and troubles all couples have, they defiantly have a relationship that I think any and all of us aught to envy as we go on with our lives (corresponding with future relationships).

As for me I defiantly appreciate and admire Ellen and all she has done to help better people and communities in difficult and desperate situations, and am envious to her attitude to the many that still (beyond all she does for people and making the world a better place) look down on her for her choice of marrying Portia, Many of us have heard the saying saying it's whats on the inside that counts over and over again within our lives, but that statement is true, and Ellen is a perfect example of that. As for the couple, I am very happy for them and hope they continue to pursue their strong relationship, and ignore the comments (and get past the issues) that would possibly even suggest setting them apart.
