Celebrities Speak Out About Prop. 8 Ruling
Prop. 8 represents today’s most emotional collision between pop culture and law, and celebrities are speaking their minds via Twitter and other media resources. See below.
Ellen Degeneres: “I’m sure you heard the Prop 8 news. One day when everyone is treated with full equality, we’ll look back and realize how wrong this was.”
Kathy Griffin: “My 89 year old mother has asked me to get her a wheelchair to take her to a protest tonight, even though she isn’t in the greatest of health. She is neither gay, nor the parent of a gay person, but she is as passionate about this decision as I am,” Kathy’s statement read. “I am so proud to march with her. Shame on the CA Supreme Court for this decision that history will not look back on fondly.”
Melissa Etheridge: “So, will anyone be sleeping better tonight? Those full of hate and fear will surely be disappointed that 18,000 same sex couples will be living in wedded bliss, kissing their spouses goodnight, checking off those little ‘married’ boxes on all those forms we fill out nowadays. That’s really going to drive them crazy.”
Lance Bass: “The decision to uphold Prop 8 is deeply disappointing. I can only hope to one day live in a country that grants equal rights, opportunity, and freedom to all citizens.”
Alyssa Milano: “Sad day for equality. RT @NBCLosAngeles: prop 8 upheld… #rejectprop8.”
Heidi Montag: “BOO CALI! Our Bill of Rights and Constitution intended equal rights for ALL regardless of race, gender, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, age or creed!”
Emmy Rossum: “#rejectprop8 tonight at a rally in your area #rejectprop8 #rejectprop8.”
Eliza Dushku: “Shame on California Supreme Court!”
