First Lesbian Couple Marries in Portugal

The two women who were at the forefront of getting the legislation passed in Portugal to allow gay and lesbian marriage tied the knot yesterday in Lisbon.

Teresa Pires and Helena Paixao are divorced mothers in their 30s who have been together for seven years. They exchanged their "I dos" at the civil registry yesterday in a fifteen minute ceremony.

No, no that's not them smooching in the pictures. That's Scarlett Johansson and Sandra Bullock at the MTV Movie Awards. I think they make a particularly cute couple.
