On Wednesday’s Ellen show, she is going to address the anti-gay group “One Million Moms”, who are protesting her new position as JC Penney spokeswoman.
They Love their Animals
Reuters news outlet has some of the transcript from the filming of the show earlier today, which airs on Wednesday.
Ellen says, “For those of you are just tuning in for the first time, it’s true. I’m gay. I hope you were sitting down… They [One Million Moms] wanted to get me fired and I am proud and happy to say that J.C. Penney stuck by their decision to make me their spokesperson.”
“Being gay or pro-gay isn’t a bandwagon. You don’t get a free ride anywhere. There’s no music. And occasionally we’ll sing ‘We Are Family’ but that’s about it.”
“They [One Million Moms] only have 40,000 members on their (Facebook) page. So they’re rounding up to the nearest million and I get that… And normally I try not to pay attention to my haters, but this time I’d like to talk about it because my haters are my motivators.”
