Ellen DeGeneres took a break from her otherwise very comedic talk show and made a serious personal stance about the tragic murder of a 15-year-old student, Lawrence King.
King was openly gay and was murdered by a fellow classmate, because he had asked him to be his Valentine.
On the verge of tears, Ellen says, “To be gay…you can get killed for it…we need to change the message. Larry is not a second-class citizen. I am not a second-class citizen. It is okay if you are gay.”
Loved the clip! Ellen is my new hero!
that was truly a sad and tragic incident…hope this sheds more light on this serious problem in our society.
