I just wonder how many of the white, mainly middle-class, straight women in the audience really got that. I've been surprised and thankful to see the depths at which some of our allies are beginning to speak out and actually understand what they are saying. (Just go over to MP's!) But, I think they are in the very small minority. Good on Ellen! Oprah, Jay, and Dave should take note!
The views expressed on this blog are solely those of the blogger and do not represent the positions of any group or organization with which he may be affiliated. As one who spent decades stuffing down his opinions and emotions, I am inclined to cut loose here, which I believe is healthy, honest, and part of the process of sanctification in the long run. Politics and spirituality mingle freely here, along with theatre reviews, photography, and passionate talk about food, literature, and the human journey. If anything written here offends you, please find other blogs to read. I am here to share, not to do battle.

This was very powerful.
Thanks for posting it.
I have never seen Ellen struggle so hard to say something. It moved me.
