Portia Gets de Rossi(ed) to Become DeGeneres(ed)

Recently the Australian actress who legally wed Ellen DeGeneres in California during that window of opportunity for same-sex couples in Cali changed her last name to Ellen’s…which oddly, has people talking.

According to a post on The Sydney Morning Herald:

Now, the celebrity couple are again in the news after de Rossi’s request to change her surname to DeGeneres was approved by a Los Angeles court. For same-sex-marriage advocates, her name change is bitter-sweet: she’s asserting the right to join many heterosexual married couples in sharing a surname, but in doing so she’s embracing one of the most traditional aspects of a very traditional institution.
Is that really what the worldwide fight for equality is all about?
