Ellen Gets Accused of Pushing 'Gay Agenda'. You'll Love Her Response

January 14th 2015

Ellen DeGeneres took time on her show to respond to a column in the Christian Post that accused her of pushing a gay agenda.

“The only way I’m trying to influence people is to be more kind and compassionate with one another,” DeGeneres said. “That is the message I’m sending out. I don’t have an agenda.”

The column, written by Larry Tomczack, said that Hollywood was "bombarding" Americans with pro-gay messages and specifically highlighted DeGeneres, who hosts a daytime talk show:

"Ellen DeGeneres" celebrates her lesbianism and "marriage" in between appearances of guests like Taylor Swift to attract young girls.

To mock Tomczack's accusation, DeGeneres pulled out a spinning vortex and said:

“Attention, youth of the world. I want you to live your lives being exactly who you are. Be true to yourself — the most important thing is to be true to yourself.

She also made sure to clarify that her marriage to wife Portia de Rossi was a marriage and not a "marriage."
