#44: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi
When it comes to same-sex couples, they aren’t always afforded the same circumstances as heteronormative people when it comes to dating. I mean, what are you meant to do if the person you are going on dates with wasn’t ready to tell the world her preference yet?
Well, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi went about it the old-fashioned way and drove around the neighborhood in a car. De Rossi wasn’t yet out of the closet when the two began dating, which made it hard to be seen anywhere. So the two spent their first date driving around and getting to know each other.
