In light of yesterday's wonderful news in California, Ellen DeGeneres told her audience that she and actress Portia de Ross will marry. (Think Progress):

    This is very exciting, I have to say. Yesterday, the California Supreme Court overturned the ban on gay marriage. So I would like to say right now, for the first time, I am announcing that I am getting married. [...]

    I'm so excited. It's something that we've, of course, wanted to do, and we've wanted to be legal, and we're very very excited.

There is a continual positive shift in public opinion on marriage equality, as you can see in this Gallup poll released yesterday.
