The Proposition 8 battle has motivated a group of stars to shoot a mini-musical that is available at website Funny or Die.

Check out the video now!

The video was shot last Monday in Santa Monica and was written by Marc Shaiman and directed by Adam Shankman -- both of whom wrote and directed the movie Hairspray. The 3-minute piece shows gay marriage backers and opponents debating the issue in song. John C. Reilly and Allison Janney lead the Prop. 8 supporters. The gay marriage supporters include Neil Patrick Harris and Andy Richter.

Take a look at celebs dancing!

Jack Black appears as Jesus, who helps mediate the debate until everyone realizes gay marriage can actually help save the nation's economic problems.

"It was the fanciest piece of community theater I've ever seen," Shankman said. "The whole thing came together in one day. It was beautiful. No lunch breaks or egos."

See photos of stars that really get along!

Other stars singing and dancing for gay rights include Kathy Najimy, Maya Rudolph, Rashida Jones, Lake Bell and Sarah Chalke.

    Your moniker is 'livelife', but you really only mean that for people who are just like you. Do you realize that Prop 8 is discriminating against a group of people who have already been given the right by a court who ruled that it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL to deny us the right to marry Do you also realize that you are wanting to legislate LOVE. These people are taking a stand, and in a

    I think this is great! The fact that Prop 8 passed is absolutely ridiculous. There are so many homophobic people out there that it is sad. Every person knows at least one homosexual person. And they probably dont even know it!

    The biggest threat to marriage is divorce, not gays. But you'll never see the religious nuts pushing for a ban on that! No one has a right to deny rights to others. Prop 8 will be thrown out.

    I AM ALL FOR GAY RIGHTS! A LOT OF PEOPLE GET MARRIED AND/OR HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WHICH ARE SCAMS, BECAUSE THEY ARE GAY. I WOULD HATE TO BE MARRIED TO A MAN AND THEN LATER ON GET AIDS FROM HIM BECAUSE HE HAD A GAY LOVER! WHEN SOMEONE IS FORCED INTO A MOLD THAT SOCIETY APPROVES OF, IT IS LIKE INPRISONMENT TO THE SOUL.
