Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi took a step towards equality by getting married this summer before Prop 8 put the ban back on same sex marriage in California, now she has to worry about taking a step backward.
Ellen spoke out through a statement regarding her strong feelings on th issue. She said;
“Watching the returns on election night was an amazing experience. Barack Obama is our new president. Change is here. I, like millions of Americans, felt like we had taken a giant step towards equality. We were watching history.
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 towards equality 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.”
And she’s totally right!
