Tony winners Sara Ramirez ("Spamalot") and Tyne Daly ("Gypsy") joined fellow straight allies Amy Brennaman, Christine Lahti, Dolores Huerta, Camryn Manheim, Melonie Diaz, Sally Kirkland and Carolyn Hennesy in the "Stop the Hate, Vote No on 8". campaign by making a series of public service announcements in support of same-sex marriage in California. Also in the spots are out actors Wilson Cruz, Heather Matarazzo & Caroline Murphy. Making the PSA's almost a complete "Judging Amy" reunion is the appearance of Tyne and Amy's costar Jillian Armenate and her wife, Alice Dodd

The PSA's are produced by Robin Tyler, who along with her wife, Diane Olson, were the first couple to sue for the right of same-sex couples to marry in the historic California Supreme Court case, which they won.

"Proposition 8, the campaign to take away rights that same sex couples already have in the state constitution is not about saving heterosexual marriages. It is about continuing discrimination against loving lesbian and gay families, so that we are relegated to continue our status as second-class citizens," Tyler said.

"Stop the Hate, Vote No on 8" spots will start appearing in early September on YouTube and many other websites, and will be made available to all media and all websites who support marriage equality.
