Ellen Degeneres discussed the recent hate crime murder of 15 year old Lawrence King on her daytime talk show this week.
“I would like you to start paying attention to how often being gay is a punch line of a monologue, or how often gay jokes are in a movie. That kind of message, laughing at someone because they’re gay is just the beginning. It starts with laughing at someone, then it’s verbal abuse, then it’s physical abuse, then it’s this kid Brandon killing a kid like Larry.”
