Ellen DeGeneres Speaks Out for Gay Marriage and Against Prop 8

“There’s a California Proposition on the ballot that’s a little confusing. It’s Proposition 8. It’s called, ‘The California Marriage Protection Act’ - but don’t let the name fool you. It’s not protecting anyone’s marriage. Not yours. Not mine.
“The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It’s like if someone asked you, ‘You don’t want dessert, right?’ But you do want dessert so you say, “Yes,” which really means you don’t want dessert. And if you say, ‘No,’ which means you do want dessert - it sounds like you don’t. Either way, you don’t get what you want. See - confusing. Just like Prop. 8.
“So, in case I haven’t made myself clear, I’m FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right - please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you’re informed, spread the word. I’m begging you. I can’t return the wedding gifts - I love my new toaster.”

I think it’s a given that she was in support of gay marriage, don’t you think? I’m glad she’s speaking out to fans to get support for the fight against the initiative though.

So far, Steven Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw and Brad Pitt have pledged money to help the fight. Let’s hope more and more people join in.
