A radio station in Billings, MT bashed a transgender family in our community. A minor and a daughter of a transgender family here in Billings wrote a letter to the radio station in reference to what they said. She heard them ridiculing the family on her school bus! They even compared being gay to incest and bestiality. After they received the letter from the young girl, they ridiculed her on the air because her parents were gay! This is outrageous. Most people in our community are absolutely blown away by the inconsideration of these "public figures." They still have yet to apologize for their comments. Bullying is and has always been a problem, but when it is done by public figures on a MINOR! That is outrageous. I hope this girl that was ridiculed will keep her head up and ignore what they said. I for one will not be listening to the Breakfast Flakes on CatCountry102.9 in Billings, Montana!!!! https://www.facebook.com/CatCountry1029
I'm against bullying, my poem on youtube(Shelbra Cullum) depicts my views about bullying please view it. People please stop bullying.
I get bullied 24/7. through the halls, prank phone calls, and everything else.The schooll doesnt do anything about it and my dad does not want me. He will not pay for a truck that I want, because it is jacked up. We can't afford a truck for me so now my life is ruined. My number one thing i want to do before I die is to be or go to the ellen show.
I agree wholeheartedly with Chris Kluwe!
Dear Ellen,
I'd like to tell you about my daughter Samantha who is 15 years old, BEFORE she was BULLIED... She was confident, out going, had a very social life and a day didn't go by that she didn't ask to see her friends. She woke up every morning at 5:30 AM to get ready to look her best for school and be on time. Samantha was always willing to give a helping hand to a friend in need, or just listen if they needed to talk. Samantha has never been in trouble, always enjoyed spending time with her family, always laughing, smiling and joking around.
In September 2012, Samantha entered High School. Like most girls, she was excited and nervous at the same time. Because of her out going personality and her willingness to accept people no matter what color, race or gender I knew she'd be fine... Fast forward to March 5th 2013, I knew something was not right with Samantha, I could not fathom what was to come. Samantha came downstairs crying uncontrollably, she could not explain what was going on in her head but she wanted to go to the hospital. My instincts told me something was seriously wrong, at the hospital she was evaluated by a psychologist. The doctor called my husband and I in the room when they were done, he was admitting her into the psychiatric ward she had several suicide attempts, and self harmed her self many times before, all because of bullies in school. Samantha would like to share her story in the hope that it would help others struggling with bully's.
IF YOU CAN PLAY, YOU CAN PLAY!
I know how strongly you support the LGBT community in that it does not matter, if you are skilled and talented enough to play, whether it be sport, music or dance, this project is making great strides to help that community to come out. Founded out of a tragic loss shortly after Brendan Burke came out in the hockey community, he was killed in an automobile accident.
At http://youcanplayproject.org you will see how a group of professional National Hockey League players came together to support those players who want to come out.
It takes courage and strength and maybe, no definitely, one by one they will be recognized through movements like this.
Thank you for at least checking this out.

This is not a civil rights issue! Damn, there is no scientific proof that anyone is born this way.Just as any other immoral temptation every person walking this earth struggles with some type of immorality every day of their lives and have to make the decision to either embrace it or turn away knowing it can harm you. Ellen has bought those who now support this murderous lifestyle by buying them gifts and just as anything else in a self centered consumed society the almighty dollars that the homosexual community represent plays a huge role in why it is being embraced. Why are we rejecting anything into our bodies that may cause cancer yet welcome homosexuality that kills millions including heteosexuals via immoral acts?
Ellen knows that the subliminal message that homosexuality is normal and healthy using athletes, country singers, comedians and anything that is seen as cool by impressionable young people and ignorant people pleasing adults will force those afraid of being seen as a bigot or a bully to agree with her.Why is there a double standard??? Why is it those against fake sex marriage cannot express their first amendment rights without being called a bully or bigot while millions continue to die from male on male sex alone. In our schools our children are being taught the lie that homosexuality is normal and healthy which is horrific!
Just because a small percentage of the world choose to live abnormally and have loads of financial aid from the hollyweirdos and the elite one percenters who want the finances of the homosexual community to continue supporting their lavish lifestyles those of us who know better, love God and know without moral absolutes and boundaries all the money in the world means nothing. Forget the fact the way our bodies were made proves homosexuality is abnormal like the fact the anus is made so thin while the vagina is made to take a beating and is why men contract HIV Aids, their anus was meant to expel waste and never meant to have anything inserted in that area. Men were made for a certain purpose and it was not to sleep with other men and is why the men and not the women living the homosexual lifestyle die from HIV aids. Yes God loves us all, sees no color or gender but he made us all with a specific purpose and other then man made disease, be it mental or physically it is man who chooses to reject him and his truth. Yes Ellen enjoy your pedestal while you can because we are not bigots or bullies as we love all just as you claim to. The difference is we don't put ourselves above our creator and tell him we know better.
Ellen, bullying, intimidation and discrimination are currently taking place at Australia’s Adelaide University. Please boycott Apartheid Australia, Adelaide University & South Australian Wine who discriminates on ALL students. Your visit is promoting human rights violations against students studying at Adelaide University and its Faculty of Wine Sciences:-( Please help end the hate in Adelaide University and south Australian wine industry please boycott Apartheid Australia. Students from your own country are being openly discriminated on by Australian & our higher education MP’s Bowen is turning a blind eye to it. Did you know that American Students have been they should be ashamed to have a black leader? Discrimination, racism, sexism, bullying and discrimination are taking place at Adelaide University while our vice chancellor is strangely silent. Students have to take legal proceedings to gain human rights, females are being offer alternative ways to pass courses by male instructors; and students how have mental health disabilities and who are homeless are being unenrolled from the university of Adelaide as undesirables. These are the same techniques Nazi Germany used on people. Please help end sexism, racism and discrimination at Australian universities and in the Australian Wine industry: please boycott Australian Wine, Tourism, Universities and the organizations which support these industries. Thank you.
I grew up being bullied, had horrible rashes in hair, head and neck, inside elbows, behind knees, wore washed braided hair from age seven or thereabout got run home from school and at recess I'd run out the school across the school grounds over into "the woods" of Altgeld Gardens in Chicago, Illinois. I prayed, did Volunteer work for my Church a lot, submerged myself in studies of life forms when in the Park District baseball and track I excelled in ended. My Biology teacher although crippled from a lower extremity problem, was a wonderful inspiration a well as my Science teacher, I loved solving problems won awards and made many friends as an Honor Student once I participated in Gym class exposing my legs. I was happy, understanding, and loved everyone.

This is my best friend and she battled cancer, abuse, depression, suicide and bullying and because of GOD, she has overcome them all. She is now battling alopecia and I honor her because she not only has heart and strength to go through all those things and survive but she has courage to share with such a world where judging is all we do and she has the BEST personality, smile, heart and is FULL of talent!!! She never asks for anything but ALWAYS quick to give her last to someone else. This young woman is my hero and she is an AMAZING mother of 3 and to be a single parent...she is not engaged, struggling financially, you never see her complain, frown or cry..she keeps that smile and does what she has to do for her children! I blessed that God spared her life so many times, blessed to know her, went to school with her, sing with her and to have her as my friend. She is truly anointed by God and he has blessed her with something beautiful and her works here on this earth has only begun! This is what the world and news station should be talking about not about that other nonsense. People like her go unnoticed because of ignorance that the media rather focus on and this HER time to shine like a star
