Snap Decisions

Pop Culture
Call me cynical, but I’m not too surprised by the Daily Mail report that Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres have dumped their respective girlfriends to hook up with each other. After all, these are celebrities, and celebrities can be fickle no matter what their sexual orientation. I’m torn between saying “celebrities will be celebrities” and being angry at them both for showing that lesbians ditch their relationships as easily as heterosexuals do. When straight celebs pull this kind of thing, it’s easily washed away; in this instance the religious right will jump on the story and say “see, we told you they can’t commit!” or something to that effect. I feel sorry for both Alexandra Hedison (Ellen’s ex) and Francesca Gregorini (Portia’s ex and Ringo Starr’s stepdaughter), because they both felt they were in committed relationships and now they’ve been dumped so abruptly.
