Ellen Speaks Out About Gay Hate Crime

Posted under Ellen DeGeneres, Gay, Television by Chris Evans on Friday 29 February 2008 at 10:34 am

Says Ellen:

We must change our country and we can do it with our behavior, we can do it with the messages we send our children, we can do it with our vote. This is an election year and there’s a lot of talk about change. I think one thing we can change is hate. Check on who you’re voting for, and does that person really truly believe that we are all equal under the law? And if you’re not sure, change your vote. We deserve better. My heart goes out to everybody involved in this horrible, horrible incident.

I’m so glad Ellen talked about this because it’s such a tragic situation, and I was extremely upset to see the mainstream media virtually ignore it.

    wow.. I’m really glad Ellen talks ’bout this subject, because it’s sóóóó true.. at my school almost everyone makes jokes about gay people, and I hate it when they do that! it’s just disgusting.. I’m lesbian myself, and I don’t mind anymore when somebody calls me gay, but I know that a lot of people do.. I cared about it too.. but not anymore.. Ellen, you rock!
