Do you hear that? That's the sound of a million guys in pain. Why you ask? They no longer have a shot at marrying Rosie:
Former talk show host Rosie O'Donnell (news) married her longtime girlfriend Thursday, taking what she called a proud stand for gay civil rights in the city where more than 3,300 other same-sex couples have tied the knot since Feb. 12.
"I want to thank the city of San Francisco for this amazing stance the mayor has taken for all the people here, not just us but all the thousands and thousands of loving, law-abiding couples," O'Donnell said, after she Kelli Carpenter emerged from their brief ceremony inside Mayor Gavin Newsom's office.
The newlyweds walked hand in hand down the grand marble staircase in the rotunda to thunderous applause from hundreds of spectators who came to witness the city's first celebrity same-sex wedding.
As the San Francisco's Gay Men's Chorus serenaded the couple with a few bars of "Going to the Chapel," O'Donnell smiled and said, "We really did. We got married."
I 'm sure Rosie will be hailed for her courageous stance, however, 3,000 couples married illegally before she did. She has no shame when it comes to keeping her pudgy mug out of the news.
