Lea-Delaria-2US comedian and actress Lea DeLaria has announced her engagement to her partner Chelsea Fairless.

In place of David Guest, DeLaria’s face was added to Guest’s body, while Liza Minnelli was replaced by Fairless. Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson were not affected.

DeLaria has been dating the fashion editor for over two years. They revealed that the wedding will be conducted by close friend Sandra Bernhard and ‘Modern Family’ star Jesse Tyler Ferguson would serve as DeLaria’s best man.

DeLaria made television history in 1993 when she became the first openly gay comic to appear on a US late night talk show. Appearing on the Arsenio Hall Show DeLaria took to the stage and said; “It’s the 1990s … It’s hip to be queer, and I’m a bi-i-i-i-ig dyke!”
