thing was stupid. I mean the woman has a successful talk show, wtf was the problem? Oh that's right, because she's a lesbian. So what?! She seems like a decent human being to me, which is more than I can say for those people who had a problem with it. Even my conservative mother thought the Ellen boycott was not right, along with my other conservative family members. Luckily, bigotry doesn't fly in my family, despite their somewhat conservative leanings. Judge a person by the content of their character, not their skin color, gender, sexual orientation or nationality!
