The Talk co-hosts Sara Gilbert
and Aisha Tyler on Thursday discussed two Supreme Court rulings
related to gay marriage.
The high court released the decisions
on Wednesday. Together they mean that California is likely to become
the 13th state, plus the District of Columbia, to allow
gay nuptials, and that the federal government must recognize those
unions.
Gilbert, who recently became engaged to
her partner, said that reading the rulings she became emotional.

Gilbert says “yes” after Linda Perry puts on “most amazing
proposal ever.”)
“When I read the ruling, you know, I
burst into tears,” Gilbert said. “And I couldn't believe … I
think you don't realize how much emotion you have around maybe
feeling like people think of you as a second-class citizen.”
Gilbert stressed that despite the wins,
gay couples in 37 states cannot marry.
“The march for equality kind of rages
on,” she said.
An emotional Tyler added: “You know,
I love being married and I would love for everybody to have the same
kind of joy that I get out of it.” (The video is embedded on this
