community started making at least baby steps. but when ellen came on the air, there was no lgbtq representation at all. not a big deal. well, of course it s a big deal. it s a very big deal. ellen s show didn t start as a show about a gay woman. was that a cute dentist or was that a cute dentist? yeah, he is now my cutest health-care provider. it was about this goofy, amiable bookstore owner and her friends, and it was becoming a hit for abc, but ellen wanted to tell her truth and have the character also do so. ellen, are you coming out or not?! yeah, ellen, quit jerking us around and come out already! come on! what is the big deal? i ve got a whole hour. i don t think you can overstate, what was at stake for ellen degeneres in terms of coming out. she had a fantastic career as a stand-up. she was having not just a tv, but film career at the time.
