Ellen DeGeneres urges people to support gay marriage law

Washington, Sept 25: Hollywood TV host Ellen DeGeneres has urged people to support the fight to keep the US state`s gay marriage laws active. DeGeneres, who married Hollywood actress Portia De Rossi in August after gay marriages were legalised in May 2008, has raised her voice against the Proposition 8 bill – a high-level state vote in the upcoming November elections to make same-sex marriages constitutionally illegal in California, reports Contactmusic. The ‘ED TV’ actress has stated in her official blog that Proposition 8 is confusing and should be ignored. She says: "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." ANI
