    Good for her. It's important that both sides be heard on such an important issue. Go Ellen! (!)

    Great effort. Surely there are some people out there who would vote No because it's what Ellen would do. Hopefully this ad will reach them.

    Feel better Becky!

    I am surprised that Ellen did not campaign for this sooner.

    Shit, people are stupid:

    Is it not amazing that the majority of the angry, anti-gay comments are in all-caps and involve the words "LORD", "SIN", and "HOLY"? Has anyone ever seen a 100% secular individual who does not want equal marriage rights? What a disgrace.

    Wait, so people were complaining because she wasn't putting her money into anti-8 things? I mean... doesn't that hurt your cause to point out who isn't giving like that? Oh well, she supported it openly... so people should be happy.

    I like her staying away from politics...

    All of these quotes are chock full of crap... and capital letters, but I think this one is one of the most insane outside of "ZOMGZ YULL BURN IN HELL AND MY CHILDRENS WIL B CORUPTED." Ellen is about way more than gay issues and her recent marriage to Portia and she's talked about world events... there was a recent episode where during one of her monologues she says while making a bird feeder out of a pinecone, talking about the economy for the sake of multitasking... "we need a bailout plan that doesn't force the average American to pay for the greed of a few corporate fatcats."

    In fact, before her marriage and before T.R. Knight appeared on her show to talk about what happened with the whole Isaiah Washington drama, people have criticized her for not talking enough about gay issues. These haters need to stop bitching about things they don't know anything about and get over themselves. She for the most part prefers to stay away from politics.

    And "pushing this on my children"!?! GMAFB!!!!
