When California advocacy group Courage Campaign asked singer-songwriter Regina Spektor to use her hit song 'Fidelity' in anti-Prop 8 commercials, she didn't hesitate to say "yes." "I was just so glad," Spektor tells Spinner. "I have no words for the fact this is even an issue."

The first web ad debuted several months ago as part of an online petition urging the California Supreme Court to overturn the proposition that banned gay marriage in the state. The video, which shares its name with the song, mainly features pictures of married same sex couples, many of them holding signs that say "Don't Divorce Us." It's been viewed over 1.2 million times, a statistic that Courage Campaign says makes it "most-watched video ever in the history of California politics," and Spektor couldn't be happier.

"I'm just waiting for this whole 'not allowing gay people to marry' thing goes into the dark, yucky part of our history -- like white-only drinking fountains," she says. "It's just disgusting that it's not just a given already."

After Prop 8 was upheld by the state's Supreme Court last month, Courage Campaign re-edited the video into a TV-friendly 60-second ad that compares the issue to discrimination based on age, race and gender, and asks "What if we could vote to stop you from marrying the person you love?" Despite the court's decision, Spektor is not only optimistic about marriage equality, she believes it's inevitable. "I know for sure this isn't going to be an issue in 20 years," she says. "It's just unfortunate that people fall victim to their time. Freedom always wins out -- it's just a matter of time, and people should learn by now to give freedom sooner rather than later, because it becomes a really crude, embarrassing part of national history."
