In 1997 "Ellen DeGeneres" made history. She was the first person to headline a TV show where the character was gay. Ellen also came out as well. She took allot of shit from everywhere. In fact she took shit from September of 1996 til her show ended in May of 1998. That 2 years of shit. Shit everyday 24/7. She also became a hero to me. I was in a closet and "Ellen" made my life better. She came out to the world and that inspired me to come out as well. At 30 years old I became free. 2 years later I went to her mothers book signing because I knew "ellen" would be there. I met her shock her hand I was able to tell her that in fact she was my hero. I never had a hero before.
NOW last year my hero pissed me off. I thought her crying over the dog was crazy. Then when she crossed the picket line (during the writers strike) I was pissed. My boyfriend is a writer and to me she was back stabbing writers.
Now here is when she becomes my hero again. Ellen made a statement on her show about the murder of a gay teenage boy who is from Oxnard Ca. I GREW up in Oxnard. I live there until 1993. I was born there. Now on her show that is to air on 2/29/08 she made a very heartfelt statement about the teens murder. Ellen brought me to tears. ( I saw this statement on TMZ). I thought she was SPOT ON on everything she said. I know she most likely be getting shit again but why. This country needs to get over there hate tords gay men & women.
ELLEN THANK YOU AGAIN.
