]]> When talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, was asked about how she felt when American Idol runner-up, 80905A1_DEGENERES_B-GR_02Adam Lambert came out of the closet, she had the following to say: “It’s the healthiest thing that you can do for yourself, and it’s not trying to be anything other than honest ,,, and you’re helping other people that are struggling.

You know, we’ve seen recently in the press how many kids have killed themselves because of being bullied and teased at school. And so whenever there’s somebody that is successful and talented and happy and openly gay, I think that sends a really positive message for all these kids out there that are struggling.”

I agree with Ellen.  She has broken down barriers by being openly gay even though the admission likely played a role in the cancellation of her sitcom.  I think that there are a lot of people who will benefit from the courage of these celebrities who come out of the closet and I’m glad to see that a veteran like Ellen is showing her support for Adam.
