Ellen DeGeneres broke from comedy for a few minutes on the show she taped today and got deadly serious.
Ellen looked into camera and talked about the murder of Lawrence King, a 15-year-old student in Oxnard, Ca. King, who was gay, was allegedly shot to death by a fellow male student whom he asked to be his Valentine.
Ellen was on the verge of tears and as close to political as she gets. The show airs tomorrow, check local listings.
61. I don't bame her....just because someone is different, doesn't mean they deserve to be shot...it's sad.

62. Why do you people continually pull the race card???? if you really want to know what others thing of the whole black on black crime.... chew on this.
Most of the time the black on black crimes are result of gang violence..... these kids know right from wrong and yet they are in gangs polluting the streets w/ guns drugs and god only knows what else and when they kill EACH OTHER we are supposed to feel bad for them??
I don't think so
Being gay isn't a choice ......... being in a violent street gang is something you do when you are a heartless hood rat w/ nothing better to do with your life.
Comparing this poor boy being shot to death by that animal is weak

64. Teresa Hively, perhaps I can't speak for everyone, but personally, I never leave my name, let alone my full name, because you never know what people will do with information of any kind they find about you online. Besides, on a site like TMZ, people tend to post under each other's names. Look what they do to this girl named Kelli! At least when you go by "Anonymous", it doesn't matter in the least if anyone takes the name because we can ALL be anonymous and people know that.

67. Ellen is a professional lesbian. She keeps her private life private and word in Hollywood is, go on the program and ask her about Portia (her partner) and you get banned. Ask Kathy Griffin. Maybe what we're seeing is the conflicted lesbian trying to pretend she's someone she isn't in order not to offend the housewives in Lawrence, KS, now becoming more authentic?

68. Now, is the poor choice of using the phrase "deadly serious" supposed to be a play on words, or is it simply bad taste on the part of TMZ?

69. I agree. In this day and age kids should be taught tolerence, and how to graciously react to this type of situation. What a tragedy. I'm glad Ellen took the time to address this. This is coming from a right-wing Republican Party member who no longer lives in the Dark Ages. And no, I'm not a kiddy who doesn't know what I'm talking about. I'm over 40. Have seen this kind of inexcusable behavior my whole life. You know what? You don't agree with it, fine. That is your right and your civil rights freedom. Just don't overtly discriminate. Instead, act with class and graciousness and kindness, and certainly don't result to violence. Job discrimination, public discrimination, etc., should not be based on sexual orientation. Period.

71. You know what? You people are effed up. Ellen is trying to change the world and I commend her. So sad and pathetic that there are people out there that just don't get it. Everyone is human and just trying to be who they are and live their life. Damn. Get over it.

72. I didn't know mental institutions had computers!! Some of you people have lost your damn minds. Even if you are just trying to be funny because guess what IT'S NOT! No matter what his sexuality was he was someone’s son, someone’s baby boy. That is horrible. I truly believe that gay people can't control who they are attracted to, something genetically or scientifically or whatever goes wrong and I'm not talking about someone like Tila Tequila I'm talking about a true gay person. Think about it who would want to deal with all the hate associated with being gay just for the sake of it, unless they truly couldn’t control it? This explains why gay men act and talk like woman and gay woman talk and act like men. I am not one to judge so I have no problem with gay people, what they do is their business but asking out a straight person wasn’t too good of a choice, though the boy could have just said no, but knowing teenagers and their egos and being embarrassed. I hope the idiot gets life so he can be someone’s b!tch! This is truly sad.

73. Let people live their own life. Some people live just to hate. They hate other races and homosexuals. If they dedicated their time to something of use then the world would be a greater place. I am a married male with three children. I am very proud of that. People should be able to be proud of who they are without the fear of being abused or murdered. Let people live and prosper.

74. Let's be thankful we live in a country where we can speak our minds like Ellen did and and we are enjoying now. Change only happens after someone SPEAKS up and draws attention to a problem, which is what she is doing. This women speaks from the heart in spite of her bosses, which has to cause problems, and I appauld her. To me she is a "real person up against the ratings" machine. People like her because she is so down to earth, but then there are those pesky ratings and media control. It's very hard to please everyone, but she comes close and that's why she is successful.
