I saw Rosie O'Donnell on MSNBC this afternoon, telling the crowd she'd just gotten married to her girlfriend of six years. Watching them together, I felt warm inside. It's always good to see two people who obviously love each other celebrating that way.

Kristofer was less impressed. He doesn't like O'Donnell very much and asked me "Couldn't you guys pick a better spokesperson?"

"It's not like we elected her," I pointed out. "I think she'll be fine. Lots of people invited her into their home on a daily basis, and if she's able to put a human face on the issue for a lot of people, more power to her. She may not have had much success fighting against Florida's adoption laws, but she put a face on it."

"Couldn't you get Rupert Everett or something?"

"He's not even American," I said.

"So? He could marry someone who lives here.

"Touche."

From The Associated Press...
Earlier, on ABC's "Good Morning America," O'Donnell said she decided to marry Carpenter, a former dancer and marketing director at Nickelodeon, during her recent trial in New York over the now-defunct Rosie magazine. During the case, she referred to Carpenter as her wife.

"We applied for spousal privilege and were denied it by the state. As a result, everything that I said to Kelli, every letter that I wrote her, every e-mail, every correspondence and conversation was entered into the record," O'Donnell said. "After the trial, I am now and will forever be a total proponent of gay marriage."
