'GLEE' Actress Jane Lynch set to Wed Girlfriend in May
Posted by DaVillageTV on January 30, 2010

'Glee' actress Jane Lynch is also best known for her comedic roles in 'Best in Show' and 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin.'

Coming off of her multiple award-show wins for her hit comedy series "Glee," actress Jane Lynch has one more reason to celebrate.  Lynch, who plays the demanding cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on the hit Fox series, is set to tie the knot with her girlfriend, Dr. Lara Embry, in a May wedding, The New York Times` Carpetbagger Blog reports.

The report lightly touched upon the news, stating, "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.'"

Embry is a psychologist who gained notoriety last year for her triumph in a same-sex custody battle with a former partner over their two children.

When Embry and her partner were together, both women reportedly gave birth to one child, and each adopted her non-biological child through a second-parent adoption. Though the couple eventually split and agreed to share custody of both children, Embrey`s ex single-handedly decided to separate the children and cut off all ties between Embry and one of her children.

With the help of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, the Florida courts decided that Embry "must be given the same rights as any other adoptive parent in Florida."

For her efforts, Embry was honored by the NCLR with the organization`s Justice Award, while Lynch was also in attendance as a presenter at the May 2009 event.
