I had no idea about this story until I stumbled upon it today. I can't say anything more than what Ellen said, but jeez, will this world ever grow up and change?!
Way to go Ellen!

- 27 years old, in Sheffield, UK. I love making new friends from whatever background.People interest me and you can always find me listening to some old lady at the bus stop telling me her life story.Animal cruelty makes me SICK!! I guess I can take life too seriously sometimes, but a sense of humour is so important to me too. On those bad days when everything's going wrong, just laugh it off, listen to some good music and everything will always work out! I HATE sprouts! Bad things happen in life. It's how we learn, deal and move on that's important. The past will always be there, but tomorrow's a new chance, so I like to take that and run! I wish I took more interest in sports! I believe in doing good. No matter how small or big, one act of kindness to a stranger in the street can affect that person a lot.There's nothing better than a smile from a stranger. I believe love has no boundaries, be it sex, religion, colour, whatever! Life is about the journey. Sure, we don't all get along, but we might as well try. Afterall, we're all stuck with each other. I like to make a difference. If I can help, I will.

Aww, Ellen covered that wonderfully. She's got such a good heart.
And she (and you) are right. People are ridiculous. Gay or straight doesn't affect anything. A person is a person no matter what. Anybody that discriminates in such a way around me (and I've had it happen) gets told right off the bat that my two best friends on this entire earth are gay men— you and Kyle, and I'll love them til the day I die, and beyond. So people can just go *ahum* somewhere... with all their negativity and closed-minded ignorance.
Love you Stevie

Hugs,

As she says we are all equal....love Jan xx
Stevie I had not heard about this ~ but well done to Ellen ~ and you for letting us see that video ~ Ally x
Unfortunately, it's easy to say "I dont care what people think" but the truth is OTHER people care what you think if you're gay. They may not like it, they may get so angry they'll beat you silly. Or shoot you. I've seen other prejudices pass into history, and this one will too - but in the time it'll take, good people will die, children even. Such a horrible message to send, reminds me of when folks said AIDS is God's punishment for gays. It might take more prominent people coming out, like politicians, movie stars, and more upper class types, but look what happens while we wait and hope. Not enough, we should ACT. CATHY

I didn't know Ellen did this. God I love her.
Thanks so much for posting this. Terribly sad, but of the utmost importance.
