Ellen DeGeneres Urges Support For Same Sex Marriage
Backseat Cuddler —
Ellen DeGeneres appears in a new ad urging Californians to vote no on Proposition 8. The ballot measure would eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in the State of California, a right that was granted via a State Supreme Court ruling this past May. The ad is simple and heartfelt. Ellen says: I got to do something this year that I never thought I’d never be able to do - I got married. It was the happiest day of my life! … I believe in fairness, I believe in compassion, I believe in equality for all people. Ellen’s wedding to Portia de Rossi was beautiful!

Now, finally, DeGeneres has stepped up to the plate, donating $100,000 so that the "No on Prop 8" campaign can air a new ad DeGeneres has recorded about how the proposition affects her personally. ...

Everything is about the civil rights battle over marriage in California today. Not that I think I'll ever get married, but I'd enjoy knowing it's an option. Before I think about marriage, I think it would be a good idea to be dating, which I'm not. But, I'm selfless, so here it goes. First, the editorial page of the Bakersfield Californian: The bottom line is the California Constitution and ultimately the
U.S. Constitution. Both guarantee all people equal protection and equal
rights under the law. We must not support any constitutional amendment
that would serve to take away fundamental rights. It's as simple as ...

The AP reports: “California voters have approved a constitutional amendment outlawing same-sex marriage, overturning the state Supreme Court decision that gave gay couples the right to wed just months ago.”
As for the thousands of couples like Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi who rushed to get married in the brief window when they could? Legal experts will have to resolve in court whether their unions are still valid.
