[Baitball Blogger]

FULL LETTER BELOW

In true DeGeneres fashion, the letter is both humorous and poignant.

She begins, “California’s Proposition 8 is headed to the Supreme Court. Hundreds of companies and families as well as Republicans are submitting briefs urging the 9 judges to allow gay people to marry. I thought that was ridiculous. Why would judges want all of that underwear? Then, after a quick talk with some people, I found out what a brief was.”
