Where is Oprah on Prop 8?
She did a show on Prop 2 in California - the Farm Animal Protection Act, but nothing on Prop 8.

1. I wish I knew.
She could give enormous financial support to defeat this bill. Not only that, but she could lend her voice through commercials like Ellen did, which may do even more to defeat Prop 8. Oprah has a huge following, and if she publicly declares that she is against Prop 8 and why, some of her supporters may take notice and vote with her.

Oprah definitely has the ability to help us defeat this thing.

3. That would be my guess.

4. Or, more likely, she's afraid of offending people (i.e., viewers)
