Ellen DeGeneres talks about Proposition 8 on her blog

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were only one out of a few celebrities to get married after the gay marriage ban was lifted. They had a really awesome and touching wedding, and they just looked like they were made for each other and so happy.
There’s a new bill that is actually opposing the right for gay and lesbian couples to get married, it’s called Proposition 8. On her blog, Ellen gives us the low down:
My Political Point… And I Do Have One
You know how usually I talk about cell phones or kitty cats or cheese pizza… well, this is sorta like that… without the cell phones, the cats, or the pizza.
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.
Those lawmakers can be such sheisters. Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg have already donated $100,000 each to protect the rights of same sex couples who want to get married. I’m all for it, why shouldn’t they enjoy and have to go through all of the same stuff we do, like say, divorce?
