Washington
(ANI):
Hollywood
TV
host
Ellen
DeGeneres
has
urged
people
to
support
the
fight
to
keep
the
U.S.
state's
gay
marriage
laws
active.
DeGeneres,
who
married
Hollywood
actress
Portia
De
Rossi
in
August
after
gay
marriages
were
legalised
in
May
2008,
has
raised
her
voice
against
the
Proposition
8
bill,
a
high-level
state
vote
in
the
upcoming
November
elections
to
make
same-sex
marriages
constitutionally
illegal
in
California,
reports
Contactmusic.
The
'ED
TV'
actress
has
stated
in
her
official
blog
that
Proposition
8
is
confusing
and
should
be
ignored.
She
says:
"There's
a
California
Proposition
on
the
ballot
that's
a
little
confusing.
It's
Proposition
8.
I''s
called,
"The
California
Marriage
Protection
Act"
-
but
don''t
let
the
name
fool
you.
It's
not
protecting
anyone's
marriage.
Not
yours.
Not
mine."
"The
wording
of
Prop
8
is
tricky.
It's
like
if
someone
asked
you,
"You
don't
want
dessert,
right?" But
you
do
want
dessert
so
you
say,
'Yes,'
which
really
means
you
don't
want
dessert.
And
if
you
say,
'No,'
which
means
you
do
want
dessert
-
it
sounds
like
you
don't.
Either
way,
you
don''t
get
what
you
want.
See
-
confusing.
Just
like
Prop.
8.
So,
in
case
I
haven't
made
myself
clear,
I'm
FOR
gay
marriage.
And
in
order
to
protect
that
right
-
please
VOTE
NO
on
Proposition
8.
And
now
that
you're
informed,
spread
the
word.
I''m
begging
you.
I
can't
return
the
wedding
gifts
-
I
love
my
new
toaster."
