Ellen DeGeneres World

One of the biggest media moments of the late 21th century 🌈

Hard to believe this gem is from September 2004. What makes it even more special? Just a few months later, Ellen and Portia would become Ellen & Portia.😱♥️

This was one of their earliest public moments — Ellen brought Alex as her date, and the rest is history. Watching this now, knowing what was quietly unfolding behind the scenes, hits so differently 😩🥹♥️

28 years ago, Today ( April 14, 1997 )

Ellen DeGeneres changed the LGBTQ conversation forever when she proudly posed for the cover of Time Magazine and proclaimed, “Yep, I’m gay.”

This month marks 28 years since Ellen DeGeneres came out to the world.

Her first sit-down with Oprah felt like a warm, brave hug to so many who needed it.

A moment we’ll never forget.

The puppy episode

In a world that told her to stay silent, she chose to speak — and inspired generations.

The Puppy Episode

Before “Yep, I’m gay” shook the world — here’s Ellen DeGeneres in 1996 on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, joking about those rumors surrounding her character, Ellen Morgan.

Little did we know, just a year later, she’d make history with The Puppy Episode — coming out both on-screen and in real life, changing the landscape of television and representation forever.

This month marks 28 years since that iconic episode aired. A trailblazing moment that still means so much.
