93. It really doesn't matter what any single individual thinks of homosexuality, in terms of it being nature or nurture. It is important to understand that anytime someone mentions homosexuality and the discrimination that comes with it as being the same as racial discrimination in this country is being a little inaccurate.
Keep in mind African Americans were brought to this land against their will and enslaved. There is no such history for homosexuals in this country. That is just the 1st of many differences. I have no problem at all with someone fighting for a better life for themselves, but I think Ellens argument would be better served by sticking to the issues that face homosexual americans and how it affects the nation as a whole rather than cloud peoples perception by mentioning things for what many believe may be percieved as being manipulative exploitation of this country's racial divide.

All that said, I love that this woman always seems to speak from the heart.

97. I think John MCcain seems to be a good choice for Pres. I am usually more of a dem. However, there are some things that are just getting out of control... such as Gay marriage!! Shame on this!! Marriage is between man and woman to have children... not this sick whatever they wanna call it that these gays do! I have a good friend who works with sex crimes and says that a huge portion of them are gay and they have either been molested or sexually abused and most of their families never even knew it happend. this is a sickness just as pediphiles have all been molested as children or something worse.. Some like Ellen, who i think is a very nice and funny perseon will never admit that anything happend to them.. but i would bet on it that it did... sometimes they block it out too. It is not normal so STOP trying to make it that way. John MCain is not just like Pres. Bush either... But only time can tell if this war was the right choice... ask for pulling out.. you do have to finish what you've started.. you cant be a country like america without standing up for yourself!!! Dont feel bad for our soldiers!!They are proud to be there protecting our wonderful country!!! There is no draft!! They want to be there!!!!! Be happy they are for your own Freedom and happiness!!!!!!

99. "Shame on this!! Marriage is between man and woman to have children"

Oh, so couiple who can't have children shouldn't be allowed to marry?

You don't know what you're talking about. The purpose of marriage is a legal construct for two people. It has nothing to do with having babies. Think before you write.

100. Although I am not a McCain supporter, I do think that he showed a lot of class in wishing her happiness. As a politician, he only had to respectfully agree to disagree. That he added on that he harbors no ill will and that he wants her to be happy while not compromising his position was nice.

Ellen's argument was appropriate - the bottom line is people are being unfairly discriminated against based on things they cannot change about themselves. You can't change your gender, race, or who you are attracted to, and you shouldn't be denied rights based on those things.

101. #3: You do realize that American freedom and the war in Iraq are barely related right? We are in Iraq because George Bush is a greedy SOB. Oil, power, fame...thats why we are in Iraq. And thats why I voted for Kerry. All you idiots who voted that dumb@ss into a 2nd term are...well, idiots. Even your beloved Mcain knows this: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/05/02/john-mccain-admits-iraq-war-was-over-oil/

We are gaining nothing but casualties and international hatred by remaining in Iraq.

#11: How does it feel to be so ignorant, so judgmental? You see, I wouldn't know. I couldn't even imagine how it would feel to despise a group of people who do nothing to you...a group of people who are harmless. A group of people who respect others, including people like you.

Fear...its a horrific thing.

102. I don't understand why gays push so hard to be able to marry. I also don't understand why straights are opposed to it. There is no "sanctity of marriage." That's laughable. Half of all marriages end in divorce, and the percentage of spouses who are unfaithful to the other is ridiculous. You want marriage? I say let 'em have it....and all the b.s. that goes with it.

103. I think it shows tremendous class to sit down and have a conversation with someone that does not agree with your viewpoint on something as big as this. Both of them showed class and dignity and hopefully got something from the others viewpoint. Oprah could learn something from Ellen here. No One will agree 100% all of the time, and no one is correct 100% of the time. But if we could just meet and discuss our needs and differences in a dignified manner, perhaps we will move to being far better people as a whole.

104. All these comments make me sad for the state of our country. Whether you are born gay or not. What people are saying is that the “act” is a “behavior” and they can chose not to “behave” in that manner.
I think everyone has lost sight of the fact that even if people could chose not to be gay, why would we ask them too?
We are asking our fellow Americans not to fall in love…..how cruel.
It’s interesting to me, that everyone is focused on what happens in the bedroom.
The question is not- do you approve of gay sex? The question is are all Americans entitled to the same rights?
Nobody is asking you to accept what happens in a gay bedroom anymore than we are asking you what happens in YOUR bedroom, so we can judge. I don’t know when it became a ‘sex license’ instead of a marriage license.
But if that’s the case, I know a whole lot of heterosexuals who could be in a lot of trouble when Larry, the sex police comes knocking on their door.
Marriage is about love.
They are asking for the right to love one another just like everyone else does.
TMZ- you really should close the comments, yours is not a political or religious website. This is not entertainment.

105. I have been reviewing the comments by Larry and agree. Ponder this, if a man thinks its ok to be a pedophile--then should it be ok by society to let him be and live his own life, while molesting small children. This is the same as homosexuality. Society has come to belive it is ok so everyone starts to believe its ok....when do we draw the line?
go get the book Bringin up Boys by James Dobson--you will find out why people "become" gay and society has come to accept it. Apparently, it is becoming more mainstream to view little 14 year old girls as sexual beings now--does this mean its ok--NO.
I am afraid for our future if it means everyone can do what they want when they want with who or what.
Pretty soon people would be allowed to marry their horse or eat their siblings for dinner. We need rules/laws!
