Ellen Torn Up Over Gay Murder

76. I teach my kids that being gay is not a bad thing. If two people choose to love each other unconditionally, it is so much better than being in a loveless or violent or any kind of bad relationship. I have known a couple of gay people, and they were the most kindhearted people, while many straight people are mean and vicious.
To the person who commented on Ellen being a hypocrite because she doesn't express sorrow for the black on black killings, how is that hypocritical? She never said she supported it, did she? Like someone else posted, black on black killings in the inner city gangs is a choice, maybe for survival, who knows. But it is a choice. Being nice to someone, asking to be a valentine, also was a choice, a brave one at that. Was it such a bad choice that he had to be murdered? NO. A simple no thanks, I'm straight would have been fine.

77. This is not the first time something like this happened. Some talk show host had a gay person on and then they were murdered for liking someone I have forgotten how the whole show came down. It was a few years ago. Lisa someone??? I am not saying it was right, the poor kid got murdered, not at all. I don't condone that anymore than I would condone any other inncocent person being killed for no reason. Point is it happens everyday all over the world.

78. So many people post, but why do they not leave their full names. Have the courage to stand behind your opinion! It reminds me of a group of people who put on the white hoods to hide their identities.

Ummm.....You haven't been reading boards like this too long, have you? NEVER post your name. Read these posts. There are a lot of wackos out there. There are probably 1000X, if not more, people reading these comments then are posting. And I don't care if you have a non-listed number, there are PLENTY of people who have ways of finding all kinds of things out about you by just your name. Don't do it again, sweetheart. You may be just jackin' around, and maybe that is not your name, but just in case, don't ever do it.

81. Yes so what if things like this "happen every day". She chose to bring this specific one up and to me, it was a beyond heinous crime, I don't know how someone could be so profoundly appalled and threatened by something like this that they would think it was justifiable to kill them. I do question TMZ posting this because it is completely not really in their realm of what they do. And obviously many of the outrageous comments here are just to stir the pot, I certainly don't put much credence in what some moronc poster has to say on the TMZ discusson board.

84. what worries me is the child whose life is over on account of bringing some news on a popular day time talk show, she says she 'does not want to get political', yet she brings up issues and to see who to vote for for 'who supports gay people'...
why have a president help how humans are in general? you just instill in your family, its family values! what ellen means to say is, i dont WANT to be political, but vote for hillary, since hillary clinton is obviously FOR gay right.s

86. Well said, as usual, Ellen!! And well done to Harvey (and TMZ) for helping put this message out there! For those of you on this board that feel the need to make snide remarks here, I'll bet most of you don't have the guts to sign your remarks with your real names ...

87. #82--oh yes that was her. Jenny Jones. I think that was the end of her talk show days then and there.

88. We are talking about the death of a child here people..what the hell is wrong with those who chose who still throw slander.. I fell in "love" with Ellen years ago on her show.. I thought she was fantasicly funny, original and sincere. When she came "out of the closet"..guess what, I still loved her..she was still funny, original and sincere. Just because she has different sexual orientation from me is fine.. you know why? Because she is secure in who she is...and I am secure in who I am. All those of you who spew hatred, sarcasm, and redoric are ignorent to today society.. Who are we to judge??? Are you god?? God states to love one another! Not pass judgement... that is his job..not mine...So please...there is enough problems in this world then to waste your time passing judgement on Ellen.. You know what? At least she is honest with herself every day when she gets up...and I am sure... you don't enjoy the same freedom. God bless you Ellen ( and Porchea) for being true to yourselves and giving a rats a$$ what the rest of society thinks...and Ellen .. your wonderful! Keep up the good work in your show, your honesty, and your smile..People who really care.. don't really care about you orientation.. they care about person you are..and the issues you care about. And for those of you who will assume I am also gay...Not.. I am a happily married ( 20 Yrs.) woman ( to a man) with two children.. Both boys.. who belieives in raising my kids to be open minded to the joys of the world not the hatred that the majority of ignorent people seem to willingly share...If people only spent more time on being positive then negative, think what we could accomplish? Grow up!

90. Wow!! I am appalled by drug use, if someone offered me some, I would not get out a gun and kill them! Get real, this is one of the stupidist reasons to kill someone. You just say your not that way and move on.
