View Full Version : I Think I Should Leave This Amazing Forum

Hi, my name is Susan and some of you know me.

I am a huge Ellen fan and a huge fan of a lot of you that I met at the Ellen taping in October. I've loved Ellen ever since she was famous, before she came out... and I think she is a great role model for everyone and I admire her for all that she has done. I just love her.

I am also passionate about politics and have upset many people because my candidate is against gay marriages. I have defended myself stating that I do not agree with that one of his many issues, but I guess it doesn't matter. I was told that I shouldn't be on this forum because I am offending everyone, including my friends, even though I have stated I don't agree with his opinion. I feel like being straight and being on this forum is wrong, but I could be wrong on that too.

I love being here because of Ellen, and I love being here because a lot of you are amazing people. I love the Clipping of the Day, the Pics of the Day, The Webcam, the clips, pictures, the games especially and well everything about it.

But I am straight and well, apparently I feel that maybe moon1 is right and just stay away because maybe straight people shouldn't be here that are into politics, which is a touchy issue. Many of you have read my posts and I have tried to be nice, but now I just feel I am causing so much pain to my friends, that I think, I'm not sure yet, that I should just be a reader and not a poster.

This is very hard for me. I feel like I can't be an American and a Christian and be for gay rights, which is what I get shit here in my small Christian conservative town I live in. Its ridiculous! I love my candidate for his tax issues and health care and that he is just a funny nice guy and I worked with his wife on a huge Habitat For Humanity Blitz Build in Americas, GA. We were on the womens build and built a house (all women) in 5 days and beat a lot of men builders first (yay). We built 35 homes with over 1500 volunteers and worked 15 hour days in the hot Georgia sun. I learned a lot about dry walling and made the front porch with 2 amazing people (one the bodyguard of Mrs. Huckabee). It was a an awesome and humbling experience. I am a huge advocate for Habitat, animal rights, and for gay rights, along with other issues. But I am pissing people off and I am sorry for hurting anyones feelings for my choice in a candidate that I love. Maybe you don't understand what I am feeling, but I have been persecuted for my beliefs here and in my home town. I just got into a huge argument with my neighbor about the issue because I brought up this forum and the discussions and being told that because I like Mike Huckabee, I hate people and I was told I was hated too. So I guess I have a lot of thinking to do and and praying and I really am sorry for offending anyone, but I still support my candidate.

Thanks for your time and I'll see what happens and how I feel after the caucauses tonight because I am getting up on the platform and discussing this issue with my candidates representative. The town will go nuts and probably think I am gay, but I don't care because anyone being gay isn't an issue for me. I just love people and love this forum, but I also know that my views aren't helping anything.

Thanks for your time. Again, I am sorry if I offended anyone or everyone and maybe I'll be back, maybe not. I guess it depends on how people feel. Again, this is a hard thing for me now... I am hated and persecuted and I am feeling horrible about my beliefs now. I thought this was a forum for Ellen fans and I am a HUGE fan as much of you know. *sigh*

Godspeed!

I think that is great that you're planning to bring up that issue with your rep. There's nothing wrong with being a republican and straight and on this forum! I'm straight and not planning on going anywhere. There's no question, politics is divisive and you'll always get heat from someone when that topic comes up. But, the fact that you are for all those great causes makes me happy because it might get people on the right thinking differently!

All we can really do is love one another......right?? (or at least says so by Melissa Etheridge)

One of the reasons why I like this website sooooooooo much is the fact that we are all different. We are not ALL liberal democratic lesbians from America, who also hate God. Gawd, how boring would that be?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO please don't leave.

I'm on my knees begging. PLEASE don't leave. :xmas_10::xmas_10::xmas_10:

You have many friends here. You are so loved. It does not matter to me/us that you share political and spiritual/religious opinions. It does not matter to me WHAT your sexual orientation is. FOR PETE'S SAKE we love you here.

*Passes you as kleenex* Here, blow your nose

You're getting a *Hug* and a kiss on the cheek

Your friend

don't leave just because you think differently than some people. if people can't respect your opinions, then i think that's their problem. this is an ellen degeneres fan site. this site was made for ellen fans. ALL ellen fans are welcome here. i don't care what you believe in, i don't care if you're straight, i don't care if you're a christian, i'll love you because you're human too. and you have the right to think and believe whatever you want. embrace the people who love you and support you no matter what.

no AB please stay here!!! dont leave because someone bring up the feeling that straight people shouldn't be here... you have your opinion and others have an other opinion... that is what i like here... so many different peoples from different countries who have one in commen: they all love ellen!

and i personally like your posts and i don´t care if you´re straight or not

Everything is going way too far now...oh boy i hope your coming back AB ! :(

Here are some song quotes/songs i like to listen to when im down...:

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
- Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITM2AKRT9cI )


And laughter is my soul's release,
But we're not smiling anymore.
Can't we try to win this peace?
Cause we're never gonna win,
Never gonna win this war.
- Goo Goo Dolls - Can't let it go ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=imDapriszcI )


Oh, yeah
Everything’s all wrong, yeah
And I get scared but I’m not crawlin’ on my knees..

Hey, I really hope it wasn't anything I said. If I made it worse for you, then I'm sorry. I was truly just trying to discuss it, and understand all sides better, maybe I came off a little strong. You should stay, please. We should all be able to get along, and civilly discuss the things that are important to us, even if they're not popular with everyone...

Susan, I agree with Petal.... just forget what has happened on here. moon1 would be loving it if you decided to leave. In fact if she can't come on here and have a general discussion with us all without causing agro, then she is the one that should be considering leaving this website.

I am also straight and believe in rights for everyone straight or gay AND I believe that this board is not just for gay people but Ellen fans, that is why we are all here, and like Petal said, we have another big event in October this year, so just let this slide and start saving girl:):):).

Who we decide to vote for is personal and nothing to do with anyone else.

In fact I have just checked moon1.... joined in August 2006... So not been on the board as long as a lot of us on here, just over a year.

Like Petal said on the other post whoever we vote for, we may not agree with "everything" that they are standing for. None of these candidates are perfect.

So I don't want to hear any more of you "leaving this website"... OK!!!!!

Just checked moon1, joined this board in August 2006.... comparatively newcomer to most of us oldies on this board.

the four agreements - don miguel ruiz's code for life

agreement 1

Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
agreement 2

Don’t take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
agreement 3

Don’t make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
agreement 4

Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

AB, there's no need to leave. You bring a lot of humor, creativity, and joy to the people on this site. I love you and I accept you even though I don't agree with your choice of candidate. I have many republican friends and none of them are gay or anti-gay and I would never hate them because they won't agree to vote for who I want them to vote for. We align ourselves with certain political parties based on the issues that are most important to us, bottom line.

And, While my personal belief is that religion will ultimately be the downfall of man - or rather, the wars waged in the name of God will be what destroys us all - nobody has the right to stand in judgement of another because of their beliefs. If we could all learn to love and just accept our differences, those differences that exist between us would be celebrated instead of feared.

I love the fact that I can tell you, Susan, that I don't like Huckabee or Bill O'Reilly or any other conservative right-winger and I know that you won't hate me for that.

AB, I feel badly that you feel the way you do. I haven't been reading the posts like I sholud. I am assuming that you posted something political and received some negative replies.

I have bitten my tounge MANY times on this forum. It's just not worth the hassle. I learned a looooong time ago to not participate in ANY political conversation. It's no one's business but my own. I listen, but keep my mouth shut.

Can I be tacky for a minute?
Forgive me for this, but, WWED? (As in the "wwjd" bracelets that were once popular, and maybe still are?) Stand Up for what you believe in. As Ellen as said many times before, You can't please 'em all.
It's unfortunate that you feel like you need to leave a site that you are emotionally invested in because of a conflict of interest from another member. No one can know just exactly how You are feeling, they can only relate, but I'm sure it's not a great feeling since you are considering not being a part of it anymore.
I'm sure we all found this site with one common interest, ELLEN. All the other "perks"(if you will) were an added bonus.
Ellen loves humans. Here, we are all HUMANS. We all have beliefs and we all know that we aren't exactly the same as the next person. That is Part of what makes this site so great.
irregardless of our gender, sexuality, race, religion, we are ALL Human. We all have beliefs and Feelings. We all started here with one common interest, ELLEN. And the friendships that were formed, well, that was just icing on the cake.
You can see just from this thread alone, how many people care about YOU. You brighten other people's days. There are so many people here that care about you.
It would be a very boring world if every human were exactly the same. Why not be robots? Yes, some people take their beliefs and politics very personal, but looking at the big picture, aren't we all here to share a smile. Make others feel good.
The bonds that you have formed with so many people here are pretty strong, and hopefully you will truck on through this and realize that there is So Much negativity out there in the world. Here, we should all feel safe and welcome.
I (not being a doctor by ANY means) recommend a nice hot bubble bath, a relaxing cd (perhaps an Ellen talking book) and just relax with your thoughts. Focus on the positive and not block out the negative, but realize that you are above the Negative.. you are entitled to your own opinions and beliefs.
I personally don't remember signing that I needed to be a certain race, religion, have a certain sexual prefrence, in order to Enjoy this wonderful site we all found one way or the other.

Another somewhat cheezy, quote or mantra "that which doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger".

Focus on your relationships with your friends here.... and take in whatever was "said"/typed to you, think about it, and move on.
Life is seriously too short to be stuck in the negative. There are too many people here that would miss you!

Stay Strong,
<3,

Also I have other opinions in believes and church than you ( from what I can say from what you write about ) . But you dont hate me thats why so why should I hate you.....

please don't leave AB just because other people are making you want to leave that is totally wrong. You have your own choices and so does everyone else have their own choices. You know i am straight and i don't care what people say on this forum. Please don't go you are a really nice person. You make it fun to be on this forum and what not. Everyone has their own oppinions you know so please don't go because of what other's say on here. Just be your own person and stay ok

AB...While I don't know you personally, this makes me very sad that you would feel that you have to leave this forum. Remember that this forum is for fans of Ellen...and it doesn't matter if you are gay or straight, Republican or Democrat, whatever. What is wonderful about this forum is that we can come from different countries and cultures but at the same time we can voice our own opinions and get along and agree on one main thing...that we all love Ellen.
Remember that Ellen doesn't believe in judging people and I am sure if she knew about this...she would be very disappointed that you would feel like you have to leave.
Everybody here wants you to stay.

Anyhoo, AB i got a question for you - YOU ARE LEAVING THIS FORUM AND US - YOUR PEEPS, YES YOUR PEEPS!!!! BECAUSE OF ONE PERSON?? :d_no:
IS THAT RIGHT?? WHATEVER FOR?? :d_frown: Noone should leave this forum unless there is a majority vote and the majority vote is YOU'RE FREAKING STAYING!! :d_mad: but we can't force you to stay though very much would like YOU to stay :d_cry:.

Last time I checked Canada and the United States still had the powers of freedom of speech. Please stay AB, we all love you and so what if your candidate has some different views. everyones candidate will have one or more things you might not agree with but if we, as individuals, think they are the right person for the job then it is our right as a free society to vote for who we like. Is there really one candidate that has jumped up and said "I will make gay marriage legal in the USA"? (I being from canada havent followed all the political platforms from the candidates in the states).So I say if you feel good about one candidate then vote for them and to hell with what everyone else says. Would Ellen really want only gays on this forum?? I think not, she, for one, is not one to segregate and I think she would want us all here and our color, creed, political belief, sexual orintation, and any other differences should not matter. SO PLEASE STAY AB.

Please don't leave us!!!!

Don't say that you're gay or not!

We don't be in love with the personal sexuality, but with a person.

You're not in a wrong place. You're between your friends. Here we have the most sincerely friendship in the world: we share opinions with people that we don1t know in person! But we have something in common, and it's all.
I don't know you, but I consider you as a friend!
Please don't go. We are free to have different points of view. Feel free to have yours. You are not offending anyone. If we are friends, we respect the differences. This is the riches of a friendship.

I don't post very often but I visit this board at least once a day. I hope you don't leave. I would hate to think that someone would feel they are excluded exspecially on a Ellen site. I myself am gay but it gives me hope seeing "straight" people on this board. If we can't all get along on a message board how are we going to get along in the "real" world. Hope that you don't let one person cause you to leave.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. I've been to TEDS 5 times and Jay Leno 4 times. The people in Jay's line are less friendly and stand offish. In Ellen's line for her show I have always made new friends. It's the kind of people she attracts and draws in naturally. She is very open and real and very friendly. This website draws in the same kind of people. Most of us get along great.
Vaukiller...You think we're friendly and build good relationships on here......Haul your boody from Brazil and join us in Burbank next October for the next TEDS trip. It's an experience of a life time. Not only is it totally awsome to see a live taping....It's so much better to be there with friends from this site. We had a blast. I was nervous about our different personallities and being strangers to eachother. Not the case at all. I felt like I had known these members forever. Like we all came out of the same mold. We came from different walks of life and all over the world and we were all the same as far as big hearted and open minded and full of fun.

Susan, aka, AB..... I want to see you there next October. I want to see you on this forum. We all have differences. Lets enjoy it and wipe out hate. Ellen Fans ROCK !!!
Lets start planning for TEDS 2008 !!! ......hey.....that rhymes. :D

01-03-2008, 09:46 PM
Susan, I understand why you are doing what you are doing, but the opinion of one person should not out-rule the opinions of several people...in other words, just because moon1, one person by the way, thinks you should leave this site, THE REST OF US...and there are a lot of us...want you to stay!!

I know you're in a tough position, but there is nothing on this site saying you have to be a certain race, sex, sexuality, religion, political affiliation, anything!! Heck, James is a straight male...and he's on this site!! There are several straight females on this site, not just you!! I do want you to stay...please don't go!! Please don't judge yourself for believing in two different kinds of things...it is okay to do that! I myself, am not into politics, but I know you have good reasons for voting for who you are voting for and I respect your decision. That is the great thing about this site...we may not all have the same beliefs or customs, but we can all just respect each others belief and customs because we are friends...although a lot of us may not know each other personally, we have a great relationship among this site!

Please don't go!!! We will miss you too much! But if you don't come back, best wishes in the future...we will all be thinking about you, and missing you!!!

Please don't leave us, AB.
If we are only accepted in this forum because we are gay, are of the same race and have the same political and religion opinions then I will be the 1st to be kicked out of here. What makes the world so special is because we are all different, everyone has the right to think and say what is on their mind.
Ultimately we are all here because of one reason - we are fans of Ellen. So all fans of Ellen should stay.

Hmm, since when has this site been for gay democrats?
I'm a straight conservative (Canadian) who loves Ellen. I don't post that much either, but I love to come here everyday and read your posts. I feel I know everyone here and now I'm even noticing when people change their avators.
I don't always agree with everything people say here, but it's a forum for Ellen fans, so stay and enjoy.
Be strong, and stand up for what YOU believe in. Don't let others make your mind up for you.

I'm gay and very liberal. However, my entire family is straight and quite conservative. Most of my friends are straight and some of them are very conservative. I love them all - gay, straight, conservative, liberal, black, white, and everything in between.
I don't get upset about much but it does bother me when someone who's been discriminated against in some way chooses to take that hate, turn it around and use it against another innocent person. Damn it, some people just never learn.
If Ellen Degeneres has taught me nothing else, she's taught me that there is room in this world for all of us. I certainly can't speak for Ellen or all of her fans but I don't think you have anything to fear here, AB, and as if you couldn't tell, the overwhelming response is that we'd like for you to stay, feel comfortable and please forgive the person who made you feel unwanted.
And on that note, I'd like to tell a joke:
If girls with big boobs work at Hooters, where do girls with one wooden leg work at?

You make me laugh soooooo hard with your little comments and all your contribution toward this forum proves how much you love this place and i know that you definately don't wanna leave.We don't love the people on this forum because of the fact that they're gay...im not. We love you for you and the kind,funny person that you are. You may have different opinions to others but thats what makes us different,the world would be one heck of a boring place if it weren't for diversity. You definately have a right to your opinion,thats what ellen always says and let me remind you that thats the reason we are all here! WE LOVE ELLEN....and we are here to talk about ellen and not our political stance.So forget moon and whatever the hell they said.

Besides,we voted and your staying ;) *raises hands with dgenx*

Of course this website is open to all people who may have different beliefs. My only objection to what you (AB) did was your vocal praising of, and posting a half page picture of you hugging, an extreme gay hater on this website. AB STARTED the politics with her huge electioneering "I love Huckabee" picture. I don't think praising a person who hates and wants to oppress and hurt most of the people on this website is in good taste. By all means support Huckabee, but it is not appropriate to bring that support publicly and openly to this website. Gay people cannot be expected to love and support Huckabee when he hates us. And we don't want to see someone like that in a half page photo on this website. I did not start with the politics, AB did with her posting of the huge picture of her hugging Huckabee and her writing her love of him. That was when it got political and divisive. Because I have a right to be offended and I will not be silenced and say it all ok that someone who hates me is praised in front of me. But AB should stay on this website but SHE needs to keep the politics out of it and desist with the election posters that might be offensive to some people.

And maybe everyone else has to resist the urge to put "I love Hillary" posters up. OR "Barrack for prez" or maybe even desist with any specific election talk since people here have many different opinions. No one should have to see a lot of politics when they come here.

But AB should stay on this website but SHE needs to keep the politics out of it and desist with the election posters that might be offensive to some people.

Can I have a minute to just explain my side of this story???

First of all, I want to say that I understand where you're coming from with the posting of the picture and the half-page whatnot and all that. But we all post stuff on here from time to time that is important to us, whether it be good for us and Ellen or not. AB lives in America, as do I, and last time I checked, we had the right to freedom of speech. And yes, a lot of people don't like other people's opinions and such when they state them, but still we have that freedom...we also have the freedom to disaprove of their opinions and beliefs but respect them at the same time!

If we wanted to get on about the picture itself...I could go on about how I don't like to see pics of Ellen and Anne on this forum because of what Anne did to Ellen! Now, there are a lot of people on here who have different opinions about Anne, and some of them think it was just as much Ellen as it was Anna that caused their break-up...I tend to disagree, but then again, I don't know either of them personally, and neither does anyone else on this forum, and so we will never know the REAL story about what happened...we can only go by what Ellen has said, and what we've heard about and read about in the papers and on tv. But my point is, I have practiced my right to free speech by stating my opinions, not only about Anne, but about many things on this site...the Iggy saga, the writer's strike, gay issues, all kinds of stuff!!! And there have been things on here I have just kept my mouth shut about! And I think in this case with politics, maybe we should just all keep our mouths shut and if AB posts a picture of herself with a political candidate, we should just ignore it if we don't like the candidate or if we don't care one way or the other!! So in my case, I do not like seeing pictures of Anne on this website, with or without Ellen, just as you do not like to see pictures of Mike Huckabee or anyone in his same affiliation...but I just don't say anything about it, I shrug it off and go along.

Like I said earlier, I am not into politics so I'll be honest...when she posted that picture a few days ago, I didn't reply or put in my two cents because I had nothing of an opinion about her post.

It's kinda like the old saying, "If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all." But of course, I see both sides of this issue, and I HAVE put in my two cents before on such things on this site, like I said, but I don't usually post a lot of my opinions on here about politics and religion because I have always been told, those are the two things you do not discuss with people because it always brings up fights and disagreement.

I personally, don't want to see a lot of politics on this site, and I know this is an Ellen site, dedicated to a person that tries to stay away from all that too, but even though Ellen says she's not political, she has to be a little bit to have these politicians on her show...and are we not allowed to talk about a show featuring a politician in general under the "Todays Show" thread?

I say, let's keep it clean as much as we can around here. Everything is politics...we cannot get around it! In fact, if you read the threads about Iggy and the writers strike, I could be a great debater if you read my posts on those threads...LOL!!! That, in a way, was politics, because we WERE debating back and forth on such things.

But the point I'm trying to make at the end of this novel is that, if someone DOES happen to post something on here dealing with politics and religion, maybe we should just ignore it, whether we agree with it or not! If you (meaning not just moon1, but everyone on here) want us to know about your political affiliation and your religious beliefs, fine...that is part of the whole freedom of speech thing! We can't stop you from posting anything about it on here, but we should just stay away from replying to it if we can so help it!! So of course, I want AB to come back...I do care to discuss politics with her or anyone else on this website publicly...PM might be fine, but not out here on the forum where everyone can see.

So moon1, I hope you didn't take anything I said personally. Like I said, again, I see your side of the story, and if I was into politics, my choice would not be the same as AB's, but that is my choice, just as her choice is her choice...and like someone said on here earlier, we all have different opinions, beliefs, cultures, and we are all different ethnicities, races, sexes, eveything! This is an Ellen fan website...not a "gay people only" website!! That is what makes it great...that we can all come here and share one thing in common!! And that one thing would not judge someone based on their beliefs even if she did not agree with them!!! We all know that's not who Ellen is...if she was, she would be pushing people to agree with her beliefs and opinions all the time, and that is something she does not do!

We should all follow in Ellen's footsteps and not judge people just based on what they believe in, whether it be race, politics, religion, sexuality, or whatever!! We are only human after all...isn't that right, Kate?

This has gotten way to out of control and has made me very sad and I'm sure it would have Ellen feeling the same way. AB is a very important part of this forum and one of the top posters. Anyone that makes her feel unwelcome or any other member unwelcome should be the one to leave the site all together instead of causing so much controversy. AB lives in Iowa and is moved by a certain candidate, so be it, all the power to her. This doesn't have to influence you in anyway unless your that weak of a person and then you need to get help elsewhere. BTW Moon1, I share the same views as you but I have zero tolerance for angry people and negative people so lets all be open-minded and nice to everyone.

Hi Susan, I didn't now you really well but after reading your post you seem like such a sweet, warm-hearted person, and to me that's what counts the most. Sometimes I feel that I shouldn't be on here either but it's because I love Ellen that I feel that I and everyone else who loves her should have a right to post the comments and opinions about ellen. Not about whats in a signature that is left to the person who's the signature belongs to so just ignore people who seem to judge you on what your banner is about.

This is a forum for Ellen fans and the one thing we Ellen fans have in common for sure is that were all for gay relationships and gay marrige so everybody on this forum shouldn't be having any such problem with anyone, please don't go:(

Let's all be friends. But I'll say one last word on the matter. People who are not personally affected by these issues tend to not appreciate how serious they are. Thay think it's all a bit of a light disagreement. Oprah was shocked at the amount of hate mail that she got after she did the coming out show with Ellen. She imagined it was all a bit of fun and maybe she'd get a few dissaproving looks. But anti gay people are vicious and violent. Many people are killed every year by them, and many more people are driven to suicide. And Ellen herself has a constant fortress of security and bodyguards to protect her from people who follow the views expressed by Huckabee (that gay people are a sign of the decadance of America and must be suppressed) She has much more security than other celebrities and has to live in constant fear because of the sorts of ideas that Huckabee encourages. So to see Huckabee pictured and praised on the Ellen website is not appropriate. It is not the same as seeing a picture of Ellen and Anne Heche because "you might be offended by that also". It is seeing something that leads to violence and fear and misery for many people, including Ellen. Huckebee does not represent a trivial "difference of opinion that we must respect" He represents a hatefull attack on Ellen and many others with ideas that encourage discrimination and violence. He says, if you follow the logic, that Ellens very existence and her relationship with Portia are degenereate and evil and will destroy America. Should people like that be praised on the Ellen website? If they are should people like me have a right to question this? It is nice to be nice, but when someone (Huckabee) is attacking you, your friends, and Ellen , with ideas that will lead to fear and violence you have a right to defend yourself. It's not called intolerance to others political opinions. It's called self defense because those opinions will lead to your fear and misery. Maybe some people on this website are niave and sheltered and have not personally been affected by these things so downplay their importance. But if, like many people, you have lived in fear of your life, you do not see it as a bit of a difference of opinion. And the Ellen website is the perfect place to discuss these issues because Ellen was at the forefront of many struggles. Ellen would not want someone who indirectly encourages violence against her praised on her fansite.

I dont know this politician .So after I read what you wrote I searched for him on the internet and read some stuff about him.

So I must say that your totally right . You shouldnt post pics of a gay hater on a Ellen website. Because of him and his believes gays are treated very bad. He is a gay hater , how can someone support someone like him....

If you support him you support gay hate !!!

You make very good points, and you're right, there shouldn't be anything about him on this website...I did not know that much about him before reading your last post, BUT I do still feel like AB should be allowed to come on here and talk about Ellen-related stuff!!

This is getting way too deep into politics again, and even though I agree with you and I don't like the guy either, politics and religion are two things that should not be discussed amongst people in a group, such as this one! Maybe we should just drop the subject!

Should there be a rule against discussions on politics and religion on this website? I understand the gay rights thing and the safety of Ellen and others, but this is supposed to be a more laid-back website talking about Ellen. She does not like to dwell on these subjects...you know, she always thinks the positive!! So maybe we should as well!!!

I say we close this thread before it gets even more out of hand!! Again, please know that I agree 100% with what you said, but aside from AB's political opinions, I still liked her when she was here, she brought fun and humor to the website, and it would be fine with me if she came back if she talked about Ellen stuff!

if ellen can have jenna bush on her show, why can't any ellen fan who supports another anti-gay politician be allowed to post here?

politics and religion really rile up people and thus i believe should not be discussed in a fan site like this. there are other proper forum to discuss this kind of stuff. however, if it can't be helped, then everyone should be entitled to their own opinion. no one should be asked to leave just because of what they believe in. that being said, ab, should stay. peace y'all.;)

Hi, my name is Susan and some of you know me.

I am a huge Ellen fan and a huge fan of a lot of you that I met at the Ellen taping in October. I've loved Ellen ever since she was famous, before she came out... and I think she is a great role model for everyone and I admire her for all that she has done. I just love her.

I am also passionate about politics and have upset many people because my candidate is against gay marriages. I have defended myself stating that I do not agree with that one of his many issues, but I guess it doesn't matter. I was told that I shouldn't be on this forum because I am offending everyone, including my friends, even though I have stated I don't agree with his opinion. I feel like being straight and being on this forum is wrong, but I could be wrong on that too.

I love being here because of Ellen, and I love being here because a lot of you are amazing people. I love the Clipping of the Day, the Pics of the Day, The Webcam, the clips, pictures, the games especially and well everything about it.

But I am straight and well, apparently I feel that maybe moon1 is right and just stay away because maybe straight people shouldn't be here that are into politics, which is a touchy issue. Many of you have read my posts and I have tried to be nice, but now I just feel I am causing so much pain to my friends, that I think, I'm not sure yet, that I should just be a reader and not a poster.

This is very hard for me. I feel like I can't be an American and a Christian and be for gay rights, which is what I get shit here in my small Christian conservative town I live in. Its ridiculous! I love my candidate for his tax issues and health care and that he is just a funny nice guy and I worked with his wife on a huge Habitat For Humanity Blitz Build in Americas, GA. We were on the womens build and built a house (all women) in 5 days and beat a lot of men builders first (yay). We built 35 homes with over 1500 volunteers and worked 15 hour days in the hot Georgia sun. I learned a lot about dry walling and made the front porch with 2 amazing people (one the bodyguard of Mrs. Huckabee). It was a an awesome and humbling experience. I am a huge advocate for Habitat, animal rights, and for gay rights, along with other issues. But I am pissing people off and I am sorry for hurting anyones feelings for my choice in a candidate that I love. Maybe you don't understand what I am feeling, but I have been persecuted for my beliefs here and in my home town. I just got into a huge argument with my neighbor about the issue because I brought up this forum and the discussions and being told that because I like Mike Huckabee, I hate people and I was told I was hated too. So I guess I have a lot of thinking to do and and praying and I really am sorry for offending anyone, but I still support my candidate.

Thanks for your time and I'll see what happens and how I feel after the caucauses tonight because I am getting up on the platform and discussing this issue with my candidates representative. The town will go nuts and probably think I am gay, but I don't care because anyone being gay isn't an issue for me. I just love people and love this forum, but I also know that my views aren't helping anything.

Thanks for your time. Again, I am sorry if I offended anyone or everyone and maybe I'll be back, maybe not. I guess it depends on how people feel. Again, this is a hard thing for me now... I am hated and persecuted and I am feeling horrible about my beliefs now. I thought this was a forum for Ellen fans and I am a HUGE fan as much of you know. *sigh*

Godspeed!

Please don't leave. I was going to post under moon1 and didn't. I don't really know what the hell I am. I'm just waiting for someone to absoulutely love me. I've been waiting my whole life, so I know how precious love is. I also know how precious freedom is. I am a reg. republican. I intend to vote for Rudy. I feel everything in due time. Marriage is about love. Betrayal ruins the sanctity of marriage!!Honestly, there isn't ONE candidate that's in the top that is for gay rights. Hillary (the hildabeast as I lovingly call her) said she believed "marriage is between a man and a woman". Remember don't ask don't tell???No shit!! The world is a dangerous place now, (not because of Bush) because of people like moon1. She's no better than the radical Islams.She/they spread hate and ill will to people that don't live and breathe their feelings and beliefs. There has to be more than one reason to vote for a person. I think we should just have the AMERICAN ticket, just say what you want to do for the country, let people vote. If you let moon1, who has only posted 25 times run you off!!!Well, we truly lose and a hater wins. I've found you to be funny and sweet. I've enjoyed reading your posts. Thank you for replying to mine on occasion. Thank you for standing up for yourself and being accepting. You absolutely belong here. I don't come here only for info on Portia \,I come here because of people like you:p

I am not taken sides on this one....!!! I think everyone being an Ellen fan is welcome on this site no matter there diffrences... Ellen does not reach out on gay ppl only....!!! AB looks like a decent person with an opinion of her own, but she never bashed on anyone... She didn't spret hatred...So AB, you sure are welcome to me on this site...

Now I can see where Moon1 goes to....
I am lesbian and I have been victim of homophobic agression 13 april 2001. I was helt captive for 4 days, humiliated, battered and molested (they called it sexual re-education).... Dumped for death 4 days later in a little alley between the bin bags... I found out weeks later that I were pregnant... (my girlfriend - we broke up last year, dec 2006 - where in a long term relationship and we decided to go through the pregnancy... my daughter will turn 6 the 30 January 2008) But whenever I meet ppl who talk hatred towards gay ppl!!! I feel a lump in my throat and I can feel all the pain over again.... I can't tell you how frustrated I get... when such as that pastor who loads his hatred on Youtube lately... and than I see lots of ppl leaving comments, agreeing with that man!!!

This is very hard for me. I feel like I can't be an American and a Christian and be for gay rights, which is what I get shit here in my small Christian conservative town I live in. Its ridiculous! I love my candidate for his tax issues and health care and that he is just a funny nice guy and I worked with his wife on a huge Habitat For Humanity Blitz Build in Americas, GA. We were on the womens build and built a house (all women) in 5 days and beat a lot of men builders first (yay). We built 35 homes with over 1500 volunteers and worked 15 hour days in the hot Georgia sun. I learned a lot about dry walling and made the front porch with 2 amazing people (one the bodyguard of Mrs. Huckabee). It was a an awesome and humbling experience. I am a huge advocate for Habitat, animal rights, and for gay rights, along with other issues. But I am pissing people off and I am sorry for hurting anyones feelings for my choice in a candidate that I love. Maybe you don't understand what I am feeling, but I have been persecuted for my beliefs here and in my home town. I just got into a huge argument with my neighbor about the issue because I brought up this forum and the discussions and being told that because I like Mike Huckabee, I hate people and I was told I was hated too. So I guess I have a lot of thinking to do and and praying and I really am sorry for offending anyone, but I still support my candidate.

Thanks for your time and I'll see what happens and how I feel after the caucauses tonight because I am getting up on the platform and discussing this issue with my candidates representative. The town will go nuts and probably think I am gay, but I don't care because anyone being gay isn't an issue for me. I just love people and love this forum, but I also know that my views aren't helping anything.

Thanks for your time. Again, I am sorry if I offended anyone or everyone and maybe I'll be back, maybe not. I guess it depends on how people feel. Again, this is a hard thing for me now... I am hated and persecuted and I am feeling horrible about my beliefs now. I thought this was a forum for Ellen fans and I am a HUGE fan as much of you know. *sigh*

Godspeed!
hi AB,

u probably don't know me because i haven't been on this forum very long, so i haven't talked to u much yet.
but still i feel the need to ask you not to leave this forum.
i've spend the last hour reading all the reply's to your message & a lot of people really love you being here!

i can understand how you feel about your political believes, but i do not wish to believe that it is a reason not to be on this forum.
this forum is here for people who are fans of Ellen, Portia & Ellen's talkshow. for everyone who likes them. gay, straight, whatever.
i'm gay myself & for a long time i've thought there was a "them" & a "us". but after a while i came to understand that all people are equal. now u can think "yeah but your gay, so you can be here because Ellen is gay too" but - and i probably gonna sound stupid - but untill after the oscars i didn't know Ellen was gay. and i was a fan from before the oscars. as long as your a fan of Ellen or Portia or both, u have all the reasons to be here!
if u think about it, when people go to Ellen's talkshow, they go because they like Ellen for being her funny self :) i'm sure not all of them are gay.

please think about this before you leave this forum!
a lot of people will miss you!!

THANK YOU! We just want peace here, so y'all, let's please just stop talking about this!!! It's getting to be way too much now!!! This is an Ellen fansite...there are fansites for politics and this is NOT one! I wish someone would just close this thread, and I want AB to come back!

I agree with you 100 percent Nicole it sure has gotten way out of control and i would like to see AB come back for sure,and this is a Ellen fansite and we should not be talking about Politics. Hopefully Vizitor will close this thread or one of the moderators will.

I am PMing vizitor to close the thread. End of discussion.

Before I do that though, my candidate did win last night and it was a huge surprise. I posted that picture because I was excited I got to meet him, just like when we post pictures of Ellen, we get excited or post pics of your friends, partners, family, etc.

So to moon1 and Stephie22, I do not hate anyone, gay or straight or you as a matter of fact. But you hate me and you have to deal with that on your own. Its sad that hatred is being used on this forum...

I have the right to say or think what I believe because I am secure enough in my beliefs and I know that (after reading all of these unexpected posts) people may not agree with me but they don't hate. Why hate? Its a waste of time and I'm sorry I wasted all of your time with this bullshit.

I'm back baby and well to those that hate me... do it, it just shows me how insecure you are with yourself. You have to put people down to make yourself feel better and I won't do that here. But you got to me, I spent the whole night crying last night after the caucuses. Thanks for that btw.

*CLOSED*

Uhhh... that's a really "sad" thread :(.

I don't want that AB (or anyone else) leaves this forum... so please @all, come down :cool:. This is a Ellen forum and not a "politics" forum!

I close this thread now. If someone think this is wrong, contact me via PM.
