Ellen talks Proposition 8 and gay marriage on Jay Leno

As though we needed any more reason to love this woman, last night Ellen DeGeneres took the opportunity while guesting on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to urge the audience to vote against Proposition 8, which would take away the right of gay Californians (like her and new wife Portia) to marry. And Jay chimed in, noting that there's been gay marriage in his home state for a while and nothing terrible has happened, and asks if we don't have more important things to focus on right now as a country aside from taking away the rights of gays and lesbians.

It's all totally awesome until Jay dips into some pretty shecky humor with his dead-in-the-water joke about Gay Divorce Court, but hey ... you can't ask a zebra to change his stripes, right?
