The US Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Defence of Marriage Act (which banned same sex marriage) was met with celebration worldwide, and now it looks as though the ruling may have some far-reaching implications in telly land too.
Modern Family co-creator Christopher Lloyd (no, not Doc Brown from Back to the Future) has only gone and told Entertainment Weekly that the legalisation of gay marriage may be good news for the show's gay couple, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson). In fact, he's gone as far as to say that it presents "a real possibility" for the pair to tie the knot.
"It's certainly something we are contemplating on the show in ways we wouldn't have in prior seasons," Lloyd explained. "As you can imagine in Cam and Mitchell's life, they would be feeling that a door has opened that was closed to them. Wouldn't it be pretty tempting to think about walking through it? We imagine a lot of gay couples today are deciding whether to get married now that it's open to them. From our standpoint, that's something to explore."
If it does happen, we can't wait to see what Cameron has planned for the ceremony: Sure isn't he a natural when it comes to planning big events like these? And Manny's speech would be pretty amazing, in fairness.
