—Response from an Ellen DeGeneres chum, regarding the recently wed (to go-to vixen Portia de Rossi) talk-show host, who’s taking an admirably strong stand against Prop 8, which would make gay marriage illegal in the state of California.
Ironically, I asked DeGeneres’ publicist for a direct quote from E.D. herself, but was told no, as she felt Awful Truth readers were already going to be voting against the prop, anyway. Obviously, she hasn’t read the comments section lately.
Some folks are still stuck in a miserable denial of rights to everyone.
But what truly pisses me off is the fact that we’re even having this discussion, period. Why aren’t we using these heated energies for saving lives, whether it be from cancer, AIDS, Iraq, drugs, take your friggin’ pick? Why all the time spent on hating others, everybody?
Jeez. It’s so pathetically and predictably American, too. Sometimes this country just reeks of provincialism, not sophistication. Says the dude who burps and farts way too much (says the husband) and who has no intention of moving to France, so don’t even try that, all you malcontent commenting types. Have a nice day, everybody!
