I watch that video several times a day. For some reason, I can’t get this story out of my head.

I had seen this and of course being the ‘mo that I am who does love my Ellen, was glad that she made mention of this story. And like Diane said, thank you, too, for posting it.

By the way, thanks for listing one of my favorites ” Leaves Of Grass.”

Thanks for posting this, I read about this story and it’s truly heartbreaking. I live in a very small suburban town, my son is in high school and we often talk about the gay and lesbian kids in his school. He said that they’re all accepted and not looked down upon. He said “Mom people don’t care about that stuff, everyone hangs out together and they’re aren’t any problems.” This makes me hopeful, that maybe the next generation is more tolerant than the previous.

That was a very moving message by Ellen. One thing we can do is stop telling people that the hate-filled book of Leviticus is anything other than a bit of ignorant trash.
