Ellen DeGeneres on President Obama's Support for Same-Sex Marriage
Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres expressed her gratitude to President Obama following his announcement of support for same-sex marriage.
DeGeneres said, “What an amazing day for our country. President Obama just came out in support of same sex marriage. And I say, wow, wow. There have been moments in history when someone has had the courage to stand up for what they believe in and that one action changes everything. I hope that this is one of those times. It takes a brave man to take a stand like this especially in an election year. Mr. President, to you, I say, thank you, very, very much."
The segment will air on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Thursday, May 10.
