And involved since 2004, so it’s hard to call Portia her ‘new woman’. (Also, Ellen’s about 15 years older than Portia. Nice to see a gal bagging a younger one.)

Anyway…to the OP…I sure do! Being gay is no different than any other reason they might find me unattractive, and straight girls and gay guys don’t suddenly become unattractive because I’m not their type, why should lesbians and straight guys?

I still find Portia De Rossi unbelievably sexy - although it may just be the characters she’s played so I can’t be sure(Better off Ted, Ally McBeal specifically). I don’t think I’ve ever seen an interview she’s done so I don’t know her actual personality.

But yeah, sexual orientation doesn’t really factor in to whether or not I find some attractive. It did disappoint me when I found out she was gay, however, now I know for sure I will never be able to have sex with her. Before I knew she was gay, it was only ever a matter of proximity.

Except _two_ fine looking lesbians, together.
