Straight ally Kristen Bell reveals why she and fiancee Dax Shepard have not yet gotten married

Actress Kristen Bell is often asked why she and boyfriend, Dax Shepard, have not yet gotten married even though they have been engaged for more than two years.

The star of Showtime’s House of Lies says the delay has everything to do with her solidarity to marriage equality for gays and lesbians.

‘I get a ton of questions about when Dax and I are getting married,’ she tells The Advocate. ‘I usually blow them off because it’s nobody’s business. To be honest with you — and this is the first time I’ve ever said this to a journalist, but it feels like the perfect time and place — the reason we’re not rushing to get married is because I don’t feel appropriate taking advantage of a right that’s denied to my best friends.

‘Dax and I have talked about it a lot, and this issue is very important to both of us,’ she added. ‘We’re just standing up for what we believe in. Period.’
