She continued, “Now, I know I’m gay at this point and I love my gran, and the minute that Ellen came out she refused to watch the show. In fact, if a commercial for her show came on, she would change the channel and say ‘That disgusting woman.’”
After Portia moved to L.A. to launch her acting career, she took a trip home to Australia to visit her family, which is when her grandmother asked if she was dating anyone. Her grandma was 99-years-old at the time.
“At this point, my mom was supposed to have told Gran that I was with Ellen. And she knew that we lived together. And I said ‘Gran, I’m with Ellen.’ And she said ‘Ellen? Who’s Ellen?’ I said, ‘Yeah, you knew that I lived with Ellen,’ and she said, ‘Yes, and all this time I was worried that that lesbian was hitting on my granddaughter,’” Portia said.
She added, “So she literally put her head in her hands for 20 seconds, 30 seconds, silent, and I thought ‘That’s it. I’ve killed my grandma.’ I really thought that I did. And she just looked at me, and she goes, ‘Well, I love you just the same.’”
Ellen said that Portia‘s grandmother died at the age of 103 “with our wedding picture next to her bed.”
