Ellen addresses Palin's federal same-sex marriage ban stance: 'I don't like it...'
Ellen DeGeneres once again has shown that her popular talk show, which is watched in so many places around the country, is the best weapon she has in combating bigortry. In the video above, Ellen talks about GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin's recent remarks that she is in favor of a federal ban on same-sex marriage.
Here is the test of Ellen's very touching and sometimes funny remarks:
"Basically (Palin) wants to change the constitution. So if you're wondering how I feel about it, I don't like it...Maybe it's just because I'm gay that I think we should all be equal, but I feel that we're all created equal."
"I don't know what people are scared of. I was raised by two heterosexuals. I was surrounded by heterosexuals. Everywhere I looked heterosexuals and they did not influence ... I mean, I dabbled in high school. Who didn't?"
"People are going to be who they're going to be and we need to learn to love them for who they are and let them love who they want to love."
Well said Ellen!

I never thought I'd live to see this kind of commentary on TV. How wonderful! I have used that 'I was surrounded by heteros' line, too. It's true!!
