LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Melissa Etheridge will wed girlfriend Tammy Lynn Michaels, the singer told celebrity television show "Extra" ahead of California`s vote next month on whether to strip same-sex couples of the right to marry.

"Yes, we have four children and we`re trying to find the right time," Etheridge said when asked about marriage in an interview set to air on Wednesday night.

A spokeswoman for Etheridge was not immediately available.

Back in May, the California Supreme Court granted same-sex couples the right to marry, but residents opposing the decision have organized a proposition calling for an amendment to the state`s constitution that would ban gay marriage.

Voters will cast their ballots in November`s election on whether or not to support the proposition.

Etheridge, 47, whose rock hits include "Come to My Window" and "I`m the Only One," has for years been one of the most high-profile celebrities to live openly as a lesbian.

She has two children with her former partner Julie Cypher, and in 2006, Etheridge and Michaels had their own twins.

Michaels, 33, is an actress who appeared in the lesbian-themed cable TV show "The L Word."

Other celebrity same-sex couples who have wed this year in California include talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi, and "Star Trek" star George Takei and his longtime boyfriend Brad Altman.
