Bride and Bride Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi pose for wedding photos at their Beverly Hills home in 2008. DeGeneres and de Rossi are perhaps the most famous lesbian couple to marry, and their union has called attention to the ongoing debate on gay marriage. According to a recent survey, 58% of Americans support same-sex marriage, a significant increase from 37% in 2003 (Neary, 2013, March 25; Cohen, 2013, March 18).
