Ellen DeGeneres: February 2008 Archives
Bravo to Ellen DeGeneres for speaking out on her talk show with such clarity and heart about the murder of Oxnard teenager Lawrence King who was shot in the head by another student in class.
Here is part of what she said: "Somewhere along the line, the killer, Brandon, got the message that it's so threatening and so awful and so horrific that Larry would want to be his valentine that killing Larry seemed to be the right thing to do. When the message out there is so horrible that to be gay you can get killed for it, we need tro change the message."
Ellen also said: "Larry was not a second class citizen. I am not a second class citizen. It is OK if you're gay."
Her comments will air tomorrow (Friday) at the start of her show...
