New Advocate cover story looks at lack of controversy around Ellen-Portia wedding...

I'm really glad they've done this story. We've all been so busy basking in the glow of the Ellen DeGeneres-Portia de Rossi wedding that we haven't really paused to realize that it was treated much like any other celebrity nuptials. Here is an excerpt from The Advocate's new cover piece by Michele Kort

It was an archetypal People celebrity wedding featuring two of the beautiful people, one in pants and the other in a gown, and a dreamy setting with flowers, champagne, candlelight, the whole romantic nine yards. No expense spared, no fabulous purveyor left unmentioned. (Mark's Garden! Zac Posen! Neil Lane!) The only thing missing: a groom.

And that's what was most amazing about the August 16 marriage of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi: People and other mainstream celebrity news sources didn't treat the event much differently than they would, say, the arrival of Brangelina's next children. CNN.com did headline the word "marry" in scare quotes, but the blogosphere outcry forced the site to make a quick edit. Other than that there seemed to be no backlash from the mainstream media or public.
