I get pretty upset when someone says it's unnatural to be homosexual. Firstly, nearly everything we do as humans is unnatural. Clothes are unnatural. Pollution is unnatural. Cars are unnatural. Pets are unnatural. Drinking milk is unnatural. Killing by the millions is unnatural. Believing we are above nature is unnatural. Lol god forbid two same sex people holding hands though.

I'm SO glad society has a more accepting climate than before... and now look at Ellen. With her own show, married to a beautiful woman and making this world a better place by making us all laugh. I love her, she's such a wonderful role model. <3

Why does anyone care if she's gay anyway? She's funny, honest, kind, and an amazing person. That is all that should matter.

Watching this just makes me mad at the all the fucking homophobes. Because of them gay marriage is still not legal and gays are still fighting for their rights.

You know a lot of people don't realize how strong they are and how they should be independent and show power over who they are and what they want in their lives, but when a strong influence tells the world they are who they are its things like that that make other people stronger and better people. People worry too much about other people and fail to see that they are the imperfect part of society and worry too much about other people and should not fear difference, but themselves.

Ellen is such a wonderful person, I cant even believe the ridiculous reaction her father and step mother had...SCREW THEM.
