Jesse Tyler Ferguson believes his
Modern Family character, Mitchell, will marry his television
partner, Cameron (played by Eric Stonestreet), once California
legalizes gay marriage.
In an appearance on Larry King Now,
Ferguson agreed with host Larry King that the script would be
hilarious.
“You know what, they live in the real
world. When the iPad came out, Phil wanted the iPad. So, I think
when marriage equality is legal in California I can only imagine
that, you know ...”
“The wedding will be hysterical,”
King said.
“Please. One hour special – I'm
calling it now,” Ferguson responded. (The video is embedded on

The notion of a wedding featuring two
men raising a daughter on America's most popular sitcom would ruffle
some feathers among social conservatives. A recent survey found that
the show reaches a broad bipartisan demographic.
