Ellen DeGeneres Talks Proposition 8

Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia De Rossi arrive at the ‘Yes! on Prop 2 Party’ on Sunday in Los Angeles. You too can vote “Yes” on Proposition 2, and help improve conditions for animals.

TONIGHT, the 50-year-old talk show queen will talk about another cause dear to her heart, voting NO to Proposition 8 on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.

“I’m FOR gay marriage,” Ellen has said on her blog. “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.”

Tune into NBC tonight to watch Ellen chat up Proposition 8! Exclusive pic from tonight’s show below –

So Ellen is FOR gay marriage? Like we didn’t know that? Well, NAMBLA is FOR men having sex with boys too. They’re both in the same category. Unnatural, and I’m not voting for either to be legalized!

I think it is sad that we celebrate Ellen and Portia, but forget that millions of people in this country long for the right to make their commitment to the person they love the most legal. It is sad that decisions that effect peoples lives are based on what happens in a bedroom.. Where no one should be invited. I am not pro gay.. I am just a person who believes that Love is a gift from GOD>
If GOD has a problem with Gay marriage then he/she will make that know. I nor anyone else walking this earth speak for the Master.

I hope to all those who are being restricted will gain the rights you deserve as a human being. Gays pay taxes, and should have the right to live a full life as everyone else has the choice to do.

If you love this country and the ideals of freedom it is based on defeat this bigoted proposition.

OMG #23 you can’t have your mind so close! What if gays and lesbians want to marry? They’re people after all, they’re the same as us only we don’t like the same gender.
And if you want to marry 3 guys at the same time and you DO love them, who says you can’t? But you have to be sure if they are available to share you.
I can’t believe how wrong are the people that drive our countries.
