SLASH, Wife Speak Out Against Proposition 8; Video Available

A short video clip of former GUNS N' ROSES and current VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash (born Saul Hudson) and his wife Perla Hudson speaking out against Proposition 8 can be viewed below.

Proposition 8 was a California State ballot proposition that amended the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman. It overrode a recent California Supreme Court decision that had recognized same-sex marriage in California as a fundamental right. The official ballot title language for Proposition 8 is "Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry." The entirety of the text to be added to the constitution was: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
