And yes - Ellen Degeneres used to be funny when she was a professional comedian who happened to be a lesbian. I enjoyed much of her stuff. She quickly became a lot less funny when she turned into a professional lesbian who happened to be a comedian. When being a gay activist is your be-all and end-all, everything else takes second place to that.
