Ellen Degeneres just posted the following message on her official blog.
Please take a moment to read it!
The talk show queen says:
“Hey everybody. There├óΓé¼Γäóre only a couple weeks left before we vote. In California there├óΓé¼Γäós a proposition that├óΓé¼Γäós trying to take away my right to be married. And if it passes, my marriage will probably no longer be valid.
The supporters of Proposition 8 have raised more than $25 million just to discriminate against same-sex couples who want to get married. That’s a lot of money.
I can think of 25 million other uses for all that money:
– How about paying teachers more?
– What about helping those people who just lost their homes in the recent fires?
– How about buying a pony for every child in California? How much fun would that be?!
Don├óΓé¼Γäót let them convince you that discrimination is okay just because they can pay for a commercial. It├óΓé¼Γäós wrong. Please vote NO ON PROPOSITION 8! I├óΓé¼Γäóm begging you. If you vote no on Prop 8, I├óΓé¼Γäóll buy you a pony.”
