Ellen DeGeneres and Jay Leno Discuss Proposition 8, Same-Sex Marriage

Andy Towle October 2, 2008

Ellen DeGeneres appeared on The Tonight Show last night and voiced her opposition to Proposition 8, the California ballot measure that would ban same-sex marriage.

Ellen_jayDEGENERES: “They are trying to stop gay people from marrying, like somehow Portia and I staying at home watching Dancing with the Stars is affecting anybody…”

LENO: “I come from Massachusetts, and they’ve had it in Massachusetts for a long time, and it’s fine. The world doesn’t collapse. You know, I go to West Hollywood — people know that it’s the gay area. The nicest area, the cleanest area, the safest area. The economy is falling apart, I don’t care what you do!”

DEGENERES: “That’s exactly right. I look at the people who are losing their homes and they’re foreclosing, and people in Texas who have lost homes. There are so many people that need money right now – and if you’re raising millions of dollars – give it to those people, please, because you don’t need to promote hate.”

Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP…
