Ellen DeGeneres is Very Upset
Now that it is official Proposition 8 has passed in California, Ellen DeGeneres has spoken out against the ban on same sex marriage in California.
The comedian who married her partner Portia de Rossi back in August issued a statement through her official website.
She says, “this morning, when it was clear that Proposition 8 had passed in California, I can’t explain the feeling I had. I was saddened beyond belief. Here we just had a giant step toward equality [with the election of Barack Obama] and then on the very next day, we took a giant step away. I believe one day a “ban on gay marriage†will sound totally ridiculous. In the meantime, I will continue to speak out for equality for all of us.”
I feel the same way, the country makes a step forward with Obama but then takes another step backwards.

Not ridiculous to me.
In a country where the religious majority is Christian, it’s pretty obvious.
Politics and personal opinions that overlap with religious ideals/beliefs are two completely different matters–don’t compare them.
I don’t get why people want to ban gay marriage. It makes no logical sense to me. Since when has one marriage effected another couple’s marriage? Why would anyone want to stop anyone else from being happy (or miserable)? And why is it anyone’s business in regards to what goes on behind closed doors?!
Banning gay marriage is by far one of the stupidest concepts ever.
No one should be forced to leave their home because people are dumbfucks. Simple as that.
Aaron, if you don’t “hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal”, perhaps it’s you that should move. There are plenty of countries where you can restrict human rights to heterosexuals only without infringing the principles that the country was founded upon.
Does anyone consider the possibility that people who don’t have a huge problem with gays, do have a problem with redefining what marriage is?
Just a thought…please return to your regularly scheduled ‘those haters’ discussion.

Suggestion to Ellen. If you don’t like it, move. The people have spoken, and while a majority apparently want to experience Democrat rule for a while, they clearly do not want gay marriage imposed on the state by the courts.
Deal with it.
