Ellen DeGeneres has bought $100,000 of television airtime to urge Californians to vote to save the right to gay marriage in a November ballot.
Claiming that opponents of gay marriage are twisting the truth and trying to scare voters, DeGeneres will appeal in a television ad to vote for equality, compassion and fairness.
Ellen wed her long time partner, actress Portia de Rossi, in August in the most high-profile same-sex marriage since such unions were declared legal in California in May.
Her message will be broadcast on television as an attempt to step up the fight to defeat Proposition 8 on the November 4 state ballot that seeks to define marriage under the California constitution as only between a man and a woman.
( You have to watch the show!) This is what Ellen says during the opening. “Hi, I’m Ellen DeGeneres. I got to do something this year I never thought I’d ever be able to do: I got married. It was the happiest day of my life. There are people out there raising millions of dollars to try and take that right away from me.” Ellen DeGeneres $100,000 television airtime Gay Marriage
