Ellen DeGeneres Coming Out Party | A Historic Moment in Television ( channel 4)

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ธ.ค. 2009
  • Channel 4's Graham Norton hosted Ellen DeGeneres' coming-out party since her own network was not enthusiastic about her news. As a result, UK's Channel 4 stepped in and flew her to the UK, where a party was organized with guests from the media and sports industry, including Stan Collymore and Ulrika Jonsson. Ellen was accompanied by her mother and partner at the time, Anne Celeste Heche, who also attended the event. It's worth noting that Ellen found Ulrika Jonsson very attractive.
    We can all agree that Ellen's coming-out story was a significant moment in LGBTQ+ history. Although her own network did not support her at first, it's heartening to know that other networks like Channel 4 were there to provide her with a platform to share her story.

      I love what you said and I agree. I wish I would have watched Anne's podcast prior to her accident. If you love Anne, go watch "Better Together With Ann and Heather"... She truly was a special lady.

      I AGREE! I honestly dnt think her death was a accident..She just started speaking on Ellen after 20 years.They say she was hi wen she crashed.. she drove completely straight into a house..no swerving..She also had a tarp over her body then Rips out.. I have many questions about the accident.. May she rest in peace.. Ellen is evil

      Hate is a strong word, but we can all see how clingy Anne is here. The strongest, most sincere couples don't always have to put on PDA to prove they're in love. It's also possible Anne used Ellen to climb up the career ladder.

    Oh Celestia. Anne was/is nuts. I think she loved Ellen as a person, but didn't understand herself, as she dismisses both terms bisexual and gay. And you can see how Ellen has 'grown up'; can you imagine '17 hour sessions' being the topic of discussion now? Anne really wasn't good for her.

    Amazing how people's bad hearts make them want to villainize others. Upon cancellation, all kindness or positive things that the person has already done for others are erased. I don't know if Ellen is really bad or success has gone to her head a little, I don't know... I don't know the person to make such a judgment. Decades ago people judged Annie for allegedly using Ellen. Both Ellen and Annie appear to be nice.

    Geez.. Ellen and Anne didn't really do anything extraordinary.. The girls and the guys were going together LOOOONG before, in public, in L.A. and New York.. in fact years and years and decades before Ellen's show. It was in fashion. and then it fell out of fashion when Ellen's first show was running. But before that time..ppl in general didn't feel the need to make a big deal about it...that's the only diff. I was surprised Ellen felt the need to make a big deal out of it. Causing unnecessary scrutiny and some ppl pointing a finger. It was all absurd.
    I just think ppl have gone way overboard and made something clean and innocent into a circus. However.. L.A. always pushes the boundaries and many felt like they should be able to marry legally for many reasons. And pressed for this to happen. Its alllll out of whack now. And lgbq has gone so far overboard...its all unrecopnizable and has caused great harm to children who are urged and pushed into changing their identities and physically harming themselves. Their parents are ridiculous and nuts. Remember that. And pushing sexual things onto children who would be better off not learning about any of this as a child. Sex education in school is an abomination and has been the cause of children having children...babies still themselves.. They have been SUPER EXPLOITED. I'm completely against that. To the core. Now, children are being "sex" trafficked and harmed irrevocably ...by the millions.
    Good Job, Ellen. Its been real. u stupid chick.
