Melissa Etheridge & Ellen Degeneres - Ellen's Coming Out

[LouiseHans10]

I want to sign too!!!

[arhuxtable]

Recently many gay/lesbian couples gathered together in New York to say their "I do"'s after same sex marriage has been legalized. Ellen DeGeneres and

Melissa Etheridge are too attractive to be lesbians.

[LouiseHans10]

@arhuxtable thanks... :P

[TheMauveDart]

@arhuxtable Um. What?



[i3xxxhot]

Very informative. I came out a few days ago and was wondering why my aunt (within earshot) immediately shouted "toaster oven!" from the living room...

[Michinil]

hahaha! I remember this. I loved this show!

[Jo5646]

Melissa is so cute.... so amazing... watch Melissa Etheridge Pinkpop 1990 that's energy Meeeeeelisssaaaaa rocks

[celinuchis90]

I love Ellen!

Watch What happened to my idol on youtube

[mswaking]

x D I haven't gotten a toaster oven yet. I'd better get busy!

[TheMoonshinee]

She stamped the clipboard >.< Classic.

[notmeanttobehere]

@MrPerfect77 Yes. Yes, it was. That is, in fact, the point!

[nw1982]

LOL!

[ellenDportiaDRfan]

she got the toaster yay

[AraGuitar]

FAKE AND GAY!! or wait REAL AND GAY?? oh... uh.... im confused...

[Donlakyounomoah]

LOL the "old days" . I first heard of homosexuals at about age 20. Before that, I absolutely had never heard of such a thing and when I did, I was flabbergasted. That was more than 30 years ago and how things have changed. I am glad that people can be who they are without ridicule or bias. It's nobody's business what people do in their bedrooms. We've come a long way baby!

[pinkismygoddess]

lmao the toaster joke

[t7g6s8]

believe a staged joke? go back to school to learn humor.

[CdnStargazer]

Who needs to learn humour when someone can't even learn proper grammar?

This video was meant to be funny. Obviously the humourous part of the video flew over your head. This isn't how you "learn to be gay" silly...

[steev75]

i love that episode, its the puppy episode isnt it???

[smellysmellysmellyun]

Melissa is rockin

[misskoool]

Didn't Ellen come out on the Oprah Winfrey show? Does anybody know where you can see it? Thanks.

[chefjoeyrof]

:-) so funny...there were house parties back in the day when this aired....and really big celebrations at gay bars, too! Now you can't even find a decent gay bar.

[Sunniva83]

lol

[soundaffair]

funny;D

[slickydai]

this was such a big controversey where i live (vernon, tx), and our ABC station quit airing Ellen for a long time after this.

[bigbadnewman]

Ellen's 'nice'.

Melissa's HOT!!!

[ieatwomblesfortea]

Moral of the story, get a friend to come out, get a toaster oven....

[lucaudeli101]

I think the toaster oven thing comes from the first part of the episode in which Susan tells Ellen that she was close to getting a toaster oven if she had recruited her to be gay....Anyway, I've been looking for this, thank you so much!!

[warriorrabbit17]

To all the people talking about the origins of the toaster comment and wondering if Ellen was where the 'new recruit toaster' came from -- it *originally* comes from banks.

Starting way back in the 1950s, banks would promote their services with giveaways, or 'premiums' for new business. The big trend was to give away a toaster with every new account.

No, really. It's true. Ask your grandma. (Or Google it.)

[hikaru678]

lololololol

[Dtownmn]

heey...I never signed documents or got my damn toaster! I feel so left out now. =(

[sophialea15]

I know this is from Ellen's "Coming Out" episode, but does anyone know the number of the season and the episode?

[tafoets]

Just did a quick search =)

I think it's >>

Season 4 episodes 22 and 23 ( The Puppy Episode 1 and 2)

[TheNothingIsAll]

so much to say, but they wont give me the number of characters to say it........shame.

[boz987]

We like what we like.The end.

[pinkytje4]

she's awesome!!

[annaleighclark]

i admire ellen so much. speak your truth, girl!

[trhpeanut13]

How is it any different if a celeb comes out of the closet?

If anything, it can be worse.

Gays and lesbians Need as Many people as they can fighting for our cause.

Who cares if they're on TV?

They Feel Pain, and Love.

Just as we do.

Equality is what We're supposed to preach.

Not what you Just said.

[kiap44]

[JackieEco]

[TripleS182]

[gymini29]

[oneazariah]

This was my favorite part of Ellen's coming out episode. I remember staying up late (I was pretty young at the time) because I heard that Melissa was going to be on this episode.

[ChrisTheMagnificent]

I've gotten two toaster ovens!

[JimHinCO]

haha! Love it!

[ca112]

CLASSIC!! That show was so funny on so many levels!!

[vegasfemme]

It's a long running joke in the lesbian community that if you "recruit" new members or turn a straight girl out that you get a toaster oven as a gift. I have 6. (just kidding) but I often wonder where that whole thing started....

[scottor1]

Thanks..for the clarity..was wondering what's with the toaster..lol..

[deltarose1]

oh my, is that really true? LOL, I've never heard of that before, LOL ace.

[vegasfemme]

a few years ago a friend of mine (straight, but whom after 4 drinks starts trying to kiss me!) actually gave me one for christmas...in front of my lesbian friends, it was hilarious!

[deltarose1]

oh lol :) well i wouldn't have thought that, funny, thanks for clearing that up :)

[kittycat826198]

Melissa Etheridge is the best!

[loosegoose01]

hahaha toaster oven =]
