Ellen said of the law:
Its the very definition of discrimination. Its also something that the Supreme Court already ruled on when they made marriage a right for everyone, everyone.
Then jokingly added:
Theyre Supreme. I mean, thats the best you can get. Like the Nacho Supreme from Taco Bell.
However, she took a very serious tone talking about her own experiences being discriminated against, but coming out on top in the end.
If youre in Mississippi or North Carolina or anywhere and youre saddened by the fact that people are judging you based on who you love, dont lose hope. I was fired for being gay, and I know what it feels like. I lost everything. But look at me now.
The crowd then erupts into cheers, with Ellen perfectly adding:
I could buy that governors mansion, flip it, and make a $7 million dollar profit.
But really driving home the point that what we really, truly need in this world is less hate and more love.

I have un-followed about half a dozen FB feeds because I am so sick of the sensationalist "EVISCERATES! DESTROYS! CRUSHES!" headlines. The articles never, ever live up to the hype and it's become beyond annoying.
Thanks in advance.
