ELLEN DeGeneres says she is "saddened beyond belief" a ban on gay marriage has been approved by Californian voters. DeGeneres married Australian actress Portia de Rossi in August, three months after the Californian Supreme Court legalised same-sex marriage.
Yesterday's vote for Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment to outlaw gay marriage, leaves the stars and thousands of other gay couples in legal limbo.
"Barack Obama is our new president. Change is here. I like millions of of Americans, felt like we had taken a giant step toward equality," the talk-show host said on her website.
"This morning, when it was clear that Proposition 8 had passed in California, I can’t explain the feeling I had. I was saddened beyond belief.
"Here we just had a giant step toward equality and then on the very next day, we took a giant step away."

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww , , ,
Pwoor widdle Wellen
The court will just overrule the will of the voters.
Again.
Get ready for the Mormon bashing on her next show.
Oh, and we care about what ‘she’ thinks because...?
Sombody needs to tell Ellen not to worry, activist Judges will declare prop 8 unconstitutional. I bet any money on it. It’s not like it’s “not” predictable, they did it before.
Look on the bright side Ellen, you will not have to hire a divorce lawyer when Portia leaves you for a younger, attractive partner.
Newsflash: not all African-Americans agreed when you guys said homophobia was just like racism.
That’s right Ellen. Most people in California don’t approve of your lifestyle.
Accept reality for once and stop shoving your morality down everybody’s throat.
OK, I'm over it
First smile all day...thanks for posting.
And we are so saddened that she is saddened. Not
Hang on, I’m trying to squeeze out a tear.
Lady, go see a shrink about that DeGenerate sexual disorientation problem of yours pls kk thx.
Gays are equal but their lifestyle is not
The only judges that can declare it unconstitutional are federal ones, most notably those 9 we call the Supreme Court. The ban is definitely CONSTITUTIONAL in California, but is it UNCONSITUTIONAL under the U.S. Constitution? Methinks it might be according to our 9 justices. And if the SCOTUS ever says its unconstitutional then we will have gay marriage in all 50 states the very next day.
We really need the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ensure anything.
Ellen ought to berate the blacks and hispanics who voted for Obama, then turn around voted to ban gay marriage. If she can make the connection, then perhaps she will advocate mass deportations of illegal?
Phhhf, Ellen. You lost Anne Hescht and Zuben.
Loser.
The county-by-county map on 8 was interesting. A lot of normally blue counties turned red for 8. Those same counties also have higher Hispanic populations. If we can wean them from their reflexive, third-world socialism, there might be some opportunities there for conservatism.
No Ellen, you stupid liberal b1tch, a bunch of commie lovers took our country way the hell off the right path, and Prop 8 was, in comparison, a small step back towards sanity.
