Also of note in OK! Middle East was the short paragraph devoted to Ellen DeGeneres and her shortlived marriage to Portia de Rossi. For those of you who aren't so celeb-minded, the pair got hitched last year when California legalised gay marriage. As well as voting for a new president last November, the good people of California also voted on Prop 8, a proposition to overrule the decision, and sadly the result was not good, meaning Ellen's wedding was invalidated.
The campaign to revoke Prop 8 is ongoing - many straight couples in the state (hi Kait and Ben!) are choosing domestic partnership ceremonies over marriage until the ban is overturned.
Anyway, what surprised me about the story was that OK! was supportive of Ellen's gay marriage. Odd from one of the more conservative regions of the world - last time I checked, homosexuality was illegal in the UAE.
