A note to all of Lena Dunham's current and future suitors: Don't propose until same-sex marriage is legal everywhere in the U.S.

Despite wearing a diamond on her ring finger at the Golden Globe Awards Sunday, the "Girls" creator confirmed that she is not engaged to her boyfriend, Fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff.

According to the Daily Mail, Dunham said backstage, "I don't want to get married until all gay people can get married."

Dunham and Antonoff were first reported to be dating in September 2012, and despite the actress's stance on marriage, their relationship seems to be getting serious. Dunham referred to Antonoff as "family" in her first acceptance speech of the night, saying, "I want to say thank you to my family, Laurie, Grace, Tip and now Jack."

Dunham's marriage boycott echoes Brad Pitt's now-famous vow that he and Angelina Jolie wouldn't marry until same-sex marriage was legalized. In January 2011, Jason Mraz made a similar proclamation. Click through the slideshow below for other celebs who support gay marriage.
