Jane Lynch, Anne Hathaway Urge U.S. President to Support Gay Marriage

Stars including Jane Lynch, Anne Hathaway and Ellen DeGeneres have stepped up a campaign for gay rights by writing a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama, urging him to support same-sex marriage. The trio is among a number of celebrities backing the Say I Do drive by the Freedom To Marry group, which aims to legalize gay unions throughout America.

Martin Sheen, Eric McCormack, Rufus Wainwright and Melissa Etheridge have also signed the letter to the president, which calls on the politician to clarify his stance on same-sex weddings and bring an end to "exclusion from marriage" for homosexuals, according to the Los Angeles Times.
