The Cultural Roadmap for City Girls Everywhere
“What a beautiful, beautiful journey that we have been on together,” DeGeneres said as she wrapped up her monologue, adding, “and if this show has made you smile, if it has lifted you up when you’re in a period of some type of pain, some type of sadness, anything that you’re going through, then I have done my job.”
“Look, it’s going to be really hard on the last day, but I also know it’s time.”
The talk show host and gay icon has noted that, regardless of her diagnosis, she is “feeling fine.”
The day ended with a tear-jerker lesbian proposal.
“December 18. I’m back.”
Even so, to this day, DeGeneres gets messages of hate on social media, which she avoids reading.
The power lesbians, the queer trailblazers, the iconic LGBT babes that paved the way.
Happy birthday, Ellen DeGeneres. We need more you than ever.
