Ellen DeGeneres has spent her entire professional career promoting love, civil rights, and equality for all. She has had to endure the pressure of hiding her sexuality in order to remain employed in the entertainment business. She has been an extraordinary positive force that is a cornerstone to all we have achieved, and look forward to continue attaining in the future.
She is very highly deserving of this distinguished honor, and we appreciate your thoughtful consideration to bestowing this upon her.
Thank you
