Jane Lynch of 'Glee' to Marry Girlfriend in May

By Marc Schneider Posted Jan 26th 2010 11:15AM

Jane Lynch let slip following the Golden Globes last week that she and her partner, Dr. Lara Embry, are tying the knot. The 'Glee' star, who won a Screen Actors Guild award over the weekend, told the New York Times that she and her girlfriend are planning a May wedding.

The news was slipped ever-so gently into the Times' Carpetbagger blog: "Jane Lynch, who saw her Fox show 'Glee' win a Golden Globe and who told us she was marrying her partner, Lara, in May, summed up the night's victories for Fox: 'It's good to be on the winning team.'"

Lynch, 49, star of 'Best In Show' and 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin,' met Embry at a National Center for Lesbian Rights event in May 2009. Lynch was there to introduce 'The L Word' creator Ilene Chaiken, and Embry to receive an award from the organization.

Embry is a psychologist who last year gained fame during a custody battle with a former partner over their two children. The Florida courts decided that the two should continue shared custody.

I know I haven't watched many eps of Glee, but I don't think that many A. "crotch" shots, B. steamy shower scenes or C. "young" actresses willing to leave a mega hit show because one of her co-workers is gay. Everyone deserves to find the love of their life.

At first, I wondered "hmmmmm...indoor/outdoor, or berber?". Then it hit me. Astro Turf.

Didn't she play Charlie Sheen's therapist on Two and a Half Men?

By Ian

Yes, she's also Charlie's therapist.

By arthur jackson

I hope she knocks her up real fast. Oh that's right, they can't do that can they? What a sick bunch of people. Women marrying women. Sickoooooooossssss!!!!!!!!!

By nycme

not as sick as when you go down on your mother.

By Kevin

And that is why your single and nobody to love or be loved by. Your a pathetic looser.

I would rather stay single then be with someone of the same sex. God didn't intend this.......

maybe God didn't intend it for you, that's fine, but He did intend it for others.

By Mike G

Hey bandit, Who are you to say what God intends? No one on this earth this minute can honestly say they know what God is thinking. For all you know, God might be gay, and condemns heteros.

By support

honestly, jane lynch is a great actress who is clearly a professional. she knows how to handle herself. shes a lesbian not a pedophile!!! shes not going to go and stare at the "crotch shots" just because there are teenagers around her. goodness, stop being so ignorant and just be accepting. congrats to the couple!

Not indoor or outdoor she favors that new Waxed Carpet

and you favor getting ass-raped by your dog.

Congratulation to them both! We made the decision to marry in Canada five years ago after being together 15 years. Best decision we ever made. It's only a matter of time until it's recognized in all 50 states here!

God bless!

I am hoping that you are wrong that marriage between same sex will be legal in 'all 50 States" . The reason being is that one can do whatever they want with your body, to include changes by adding or taking off, however, a true marriage will alway be between a man and a woman. I dont hate gays or lesbians. I have gays within my family but I dispise the act itself and that is my right/opinion. Man/women marrying a man/women will never be the norm. For years and years, gays believes that this is a civil rights issue when clearly, it is not, and that also is my opinion. I was born " colored" and defined one fifth human by Whites. I watched crosses burned in my front yard because of the color of my skin. I had no choice in the matter. I was discriminated against for decades. I had no choice in the matter until we as a people, took a stand. It is not over yet ,for society has not allowed me to forget what me and my family has gone through. My take on the gay issue is that, you had a choice. This is called "sexual preferance", not a civil rights /discriminatory issue. Please note, that I am very proud of who I am. I also respect your rights to be who you want to be but this issue will never get my vote. I want laws to change to protect our children from men/women who believes its ok to have sex with them, in domestic relationships, rape victims, in drugs, homelessness. The list is endless. I will not spend my time thinking about who sleep with who. Ther is more important things to do.

Twister - How sad for you. Until 1967 interracial marriage was illegal in 14 states until the Supreme Court case of Loving V The State Of Virginia. The arguments that are being used today against us are the same ones that were used then against you. The Bible was used to justify keeping the races separate. Prior to that, people of different religions couldn't marry. Isn't it time people stop using the Bible as a tool of hate and division?

My marriage has no affect on you at all, yet you feel you have the right to force your beliefs upon me. No more.

If she's found someone to love, and who loves her too, then great for them. There's nothing wrong with that.

By tpole122

Why can't there be same sex marriages, gays and lesbians have the right to be miserable as well.

what are you talking about. I've been with my partner for over 10 years and each day is better than the last. I guess you straight people just don't know what love is.... sad.

The bible says No to this type of living. Either people don't belive or feel God will forgive. I am not one to judge its not my thing. I am a Christian, I live by Gods word.
