Military couple Stephanie and Tracy met in a bar years ago, and fell madly in love.

Now they have worked incredibly hard to save up for their big wedding, with Tracy even taking on another job in pizza delivery.

The Air Force member wrote a letter to Ellen DeGeneres telling them their story.

It read:

‘On 24 January during a sunset walk on the beach, my girlfriend Tracy got down on one knee and proposed. She is the most amazing person I have ever met and I feel so lucky every single day.

It should come as no surprise that Ellen DeGeneres is by far the most visible lesbian in America, according to the results of a Pew Research Poll released this week.

Her syndicated daytime talk show remains a strong ratings hit after more than a decade on the air five times a week.

But it is a bit a surprise that Jason Collins, an NBA player most people had not heard of until he came out publicly last month, is already the most visible gay man - even more visible than Elton John.

After more than four years of marriage and nearly nine years together, Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres appear to be as happy as ever.

But Jennifer Aniston, a personal friend of both, got de Rossi to admit this week that there are a few things about her talk show host wife that do kinda bother her.

Aniston, guest co-hosting The Ellen DeGeneres Show, said to de Rossi: 'You guys are so good to each other. But let's face it, what bugs you about Ellen.'

DeGeneres, answering for her wife, said: 'There's nothing!'

Could we BE anymore excited about this?

Ellen DeGeneres has reunited half the stars of Friends for a new promotional clip.

In the video, Jennifer Aniston visits Matthew Perry for advice on co-hosting the comic’s daytime talk show.

Awkwardly, she catches her former Friend at a bad time as it is revealed Perry is ‘sleeping’ with Courtney Cox.

DeGeneres and Arrested Development actress Portia DeRossi are also in the short video.

While they don’t feature, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc are all mentioned in the skit.

The New Zealand MP who shot to international fame when his humorous speech in support of gay marriage went viral will no longer appear on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The New Zealand MP is hesitating about following in the footsteps of Michelle and Barack Obama by dancing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Maurice Williamson was asked to appear on the popular American talkshow after his pro-gay-marriage speech, in which he said he saw a 'big gay rainbow' over his electorate that morning, went viral.

NFL punter Chris Kluwe has become a hero in the fight for LGBT equality but now he's a hero without a job.

The Minnesota Vikings on Monday (6 May) cut the 31-year-old Kluwe from the team after more than eight years.

'Thank you to everyone for your support,' Kluwe said in a tweet. 'Remember, one label does not define who you are as a person.'

Kluwe had feared the move when the Vikings selected UCLA punter Jeff Locke as a fifth-round draft pick.

Kate McKinnon, the Saturday Night Live cast member who has made her Ellen DeGeneres impersonation one of her most popular characters on the show, transformed herself while guesting on her idol's daytime show this week.

McKinnon, who like DeGeneres is a lesbian comedienne, appears in the first segment chatting with the host about how she always looked up to her.

'It's been such a journey,' she said. 'I'm trying not to cry because I have loved you my whole life and have just wanted to meet you so badly.'

New Zealand MP Maurice Williamson, who spoke about a 'big gay rainbow' in parliament last week, has been invited to Los Angeles to appear on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Prime Minister John Key gave permission for Williamson to travel to the US for the show after concerns that accepting the flights and payment for the show would be against ministerial rules.

Portia de Rossi has made the decision that she and wife Ellen DeGeneres are not going to have children.

'There comes some pressure in your mid-30s, and you think, Am I going to have kids so I don’t miss out on something that other people really seem to love? Or is it that I really genuinely want to do this with my whole heart? I didn’t feel that my response was "yes" to the latter,' the 40-year-old DeRossi tellsOUT magazine.

Anderson Cooper was ranked fifth in OUT magazine's annual top 50 list of powerful gay men and lesbians - the first year he made the list as an openly gay man.

Cooper had made the list year after year - one year even appearing on the cover of the magazine with Jodie Foster - but it wasn't until last summer that Cooper he publicly acknowledged being gay.

Foster, despite her very public coming out speech at the Golden Globe Awards in January, did not make the top 50 list which was unveiled today.

Ellen DeGeneres has long had a running gag about the lack of a sequel to the 2003 animated smash Finding Nemo.

But  now it's no longer a joke.

The comedienne announced on her daytime talk show today that Disney-Pixar is making that sequel and it focuses on her character of Dory, a friendly but forgetful blue tang fish.

'I guess I've mentioned it on the show once or twice,' DeGeneres joked as she showed various past clips of her complaining about the lack of a sequel to Nemo which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
