You kiddos have no idea how groundbreaking this was. Like thereâs a reason THE lesbian website for a billion years was called After Ellen. She changed everything.
oh man you know that feeling thatâs like kind of an ache right between your heart and your stomach? like nostalgic knowing of pain? thatâs how the scared look in Ellenâs eyes makes me feel. Â
Look at her hand too and how nervous she is. Every gay and lesbian person knows this feeling, because we know there are assumptions and consequences and thereâs no telling how someone will react.
And let no one forget that she suffered consequences for this. It wasnât just a moment of cathartic unburdening and then business as usual.
Right, she lost her first TV show. She worked hard to get up to where she is today.
You can see the moment where sheâs like âI canât just like and make up a name. I canât just pretend that the person I felt a deep connection with doesnât exist.â
