Just over 52 percent of California voted to block May's Supreme Court ruling, which legalised same-sex unions in the state. And Ellen is devasted by the outcome.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the star says she, "like millions of Americans, felt like we had taken a giant step toward equality" by electing African-American candidate Barack Obama as president on Tuesday.
But by passing California's Proposition 8, the star believes citizens "took a giant step away".

Re: Ellen Is "Saddened" By the Recent Passing of Prop 8
I entirely agree with Ellen. I don't even live in California, but it still seems to have an effect here. Just to say it, my support is with Ellen and Portia, I really hope that they're okay, and that they are able to deal with this until all of the prejudiced Californians (which isn't all of them, obviously) realize that it's going to happen with or without their approval. Ellen is like, an idol of mine, and my best wishes are with her and Portia.
God Bless,
Cullen

Re: Ellen Is "Saddened" By the Recent Passing of Prop 8
American's pride themselves as the largest and progressive nation in the world...they may be the largest...but they certainly are progressive...Come to Canada, we would be happy to have you and Portia celebrate your love for one another. My niece and her partner married last fall here in Ontario....it was one of the nicest, classiest weddings I have ever been too....
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.....YEAH, WELCOME TO AMERICAN IDOL.....YOU WILL BE SO TERRIFIC, THE SHOW'S RATINGS ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!!
Keep the faith, the USA will one day see the light....sooner rather than later would be nice....

Re: Ellen Is "Saddened" By the Recent Passing of Prop 8
52% is better than 80% against. It's 50/50 now. Give it a few more years Ellen baby. There are still too many ignorant haters out there to make it right. I so surprised, with San Francisco being one of the largest gay communities in the US.

Ellen is a corporate Sell out
I can't believe how Ellen is selling out to corporate logos and products. How sad. I saw her commercial where she mouths the words... ' Inner beauty is important, but not as important as outer beauty..."
I was shocked!! How could some one who has struggled through so much embrace and advocate so shallow a philosophy to millions of people already overwhelmed with corporate messages meant to keep us all focused on the mundane? It was disturbing to see her selling makeup and superficial values that are out of step with inner values of acceptance and inclusion no matter what race creed or sexual interest or how we are supposed to look!!!. Ellen , you need to get back to your roots girl.
