Yes!
Ellen DeGeneres has posted the following on her official website.
The newly married talk show host says:
“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├óΓé¼Γäós a California Proposition on the ballot that├óΓé¼Γäós a little confusing. It├óΓé¼Γäós Proposition 8. It├óΓé¼Γäós called, ├óΓé¼┼ôThe California Marriage Protection Act├óΓé¼┬¥ — but don├óΓé¼Γäót let the name fool you. It├óΓé¼Γäós not protecting anyone├óΓé¼Γäós marriage. Not yours. Not mine.
The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It├óΓé¼Γäós like if someone asked you, ├óΓé¼┼ôYou don├óΓé¼Γäót want dessert, right?├óΓé¼┬¥ But you do want dessert so you say, ├óΓé¼┼ôYes,├óΓé¼┬¥ which really means you don├óΓé¼Γäót want dessert. And if you say, ├óΓé¼┼ôNo,├óΓé¼┬¥ which means you do want dessert — it sounds like you don├óΓé¼Γäót. Either way, you don├óΓé¼Γäót get what you want. See — confusing. Just like Prop. 8.
So, in case I haven├óΓé¼Γäót made myself clear, I├óΓé¼Γäóm FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right — please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you├óΓé¼Γäóre informed, spread the word. I├óΓé¼Γäóm begging you. I can├óΓé¼Γäót return the wedding gifts — I love my new toaster.”
