On yesterday’s episode, Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, talked with Oprah about their careers, living life with compassion, and being the most high-profile lesbian couple in the world. Both Ellen and Portia discuss getting over the anxiety of publicly coming out as a lesbian, which Portia finally faced when she decided to date Ellen. “I faced every one of my fears to do it.” Portia says, “She did this for me, because I felt this overwhelming connection with her and I didn’t want to miss out. The love overcame the fear for me.” Clip above.

I was crying throughout their whole interview. What a lovely couple who are obviously so head over heels in love with each other. So refreshing.

That was a really great interview, so happy to see a really great couple, in love, instead of the constant scandals and affairs, it’s beautiful. What a great representation of a happy, healthy family.

Seriously, they are a delight to behold.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but why are they in separate chairs? Every couple appearing on Oprah is on a couch except for them. Just something that jumped out at me.
