Ugly Betty Actors Think Hate is Ugly : Vote No on Prop 8
1:27 pm By Maegan La Mala · California|Celebrities|GLBT|TV
28 Oct 2008Three stars of the TV show Ugly Betty think there is nothing uglier than discrimination and that’s why they stepped up to appear in an ad against Proposition 8 in California.
Voting no on Prop 8 is not just about gay rights,” said America Ferrera. “It’s about preserving the integrity of equal rights in this country. This is not about being gay or straight, it’s about being American. Vote no on Prop 8.”
“Family is very important to Latinos,” said Tony Plana. “Prop 8 discriminates against families and everything we stand for. I encourage all Californians to vote NO on this divisive and unfair proposition.”
“Like all Americans, Latinos have family members and friends who are gay and deserve the same rights all of us have,” said Ana Ortiz. “Prop 8 would take away those rights and that’s why we urge all Californians to vote NO.”
Prop 8 would eliminate the fundamental right for same-sex couples to marry.

I applaud these people for speaking out against injustice. There is a similar Proposition in AZ, Prop 102. It seems that every lawn in my community has a “Yes on 102” sign. I am not gay, so the argument that I appose this propisition because I’m gay has no ground. I do on the other hand have friends who are gay but that is irrelevant. Everyone deserves equal rights regardless of their beliefs, why can’t everyone see this?
