I said that it was a much bigger deal then.

這句話得到的反應可是熱烈得多

Today we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of the coming out episode of

Ellen Morgan, came out as a lesbian on national television.

And I, Ellen DeGeneres, came out at the same time.

而現實世界的我，Ellen DeGeneres也同時出櫃

So if you wanted to announce something, it was the only way.

所以如果想宣布什麼事情，只能靠這個方式

It was the first time a lead character on TV had come out.

This was before Will and Grace, and Cayman Mitchell, and Holman and Kathie Lee.

比《威爾與格蕾絲》、Cayman Mitchell、Holman，還有 Kathie Le都來得早

it was called the puppy episode because we wanted to keep it a secret until it aired.

當時戲稱為「小狗特輯」，因為我們在播出前想盡量保持神秘

And because Ellen throws her career away seemed to on the nose.

我當時演藝生涯毀了也是意料中的事

the real reason we called it the puppy episode was.

之所以叫「小狗特輯」真正理由是...

Cuz when the writers told the executives that they wanted me to come out because my

character needed to be in a relationship after four years of not being in

我劇中角色經過4年空窗，必須為她找個伴

Some in the studio said well get her a puppy she's not coming out.

當時高層說，抓隻小狗陪伴她就好，出什麼櫃

I can't describe to you how challenging it was to get this episode made.

我無法形容，要完成這一集有多困難

Which is why I thought this was important to celebrate the anniversary and

這也是為何我認為這值得慶祝的原因

to remember what it was like back then and appreciate how far we have come.

好讓我們知道過去有多辛苦，我們進步了多少

>> Ellen, you're gonna be late for your dinner date with your old college friend,

艾倫，你和老同事Richard的聚餐要遲到了

>> It's like she's been in there forever.

艾倫，妳到底要不要出來 (意同出櫃)？

>> Yeah, Ellen, quit jerking us around and come out already.

對啊，艾倫，不要浪費時間了，快點出來

Imagine the most difficult and personal decision you've ever had to make in your

試想一下，你要和世人分享最私人、最難啟齒的秘密

life becoming the hot topic of debate in newspapers, magazines, and television.

>> Television history as we know it [CROSSTALK]

Tell me, what's gonna happen with Ellen Morgen.

那到底Ellen Morgen會發生什麼事？

>> We do find out that the character is Lebanese?

我們發現，她來自於「拉子國度」

>> Has there ever been anyone you felt you clicked with?

你曾和其他人有過心靈契合的感覺？

這位幸運的男主角叫什麼名字？

這幾個月來，關於艾倫的謠言不斷

>> The TV sitcom character Ellen is set to announce she's a lesbian.

>> The audience could be there in record numbers.

超過2千名民眾參與這場見證派對

>> I think people are interested in this, sitcom history.

大家對這主題很熱衷，從沒人在電視上出櫃

>> Why was it necessary for you to come out, tell the public?

Why was it necessary for the character to do so?

>> [APPLAUSE] >> Why do I have to be so ashamed?

I'm 35 years old, I'm so afraid to tell people.

>> Did you expect it to turn into all of this?

>> No, no, I mean, I knew that it would be big, but

The announcements have sent off a huge debate.

>> It's unfortunate that the sitcom Ellen portrayed their homosexual lifestyle

我們很遺憾看到，這部戲竟將艾倫描繪成正常人

As normal and acknowledges their behavior.

>> We've seen the fallout that Ellen DeGeneres has had to face since she

>> I am concerned that we are flaunting sex.

>> God says it's wrong, it's in God's word.

神說這是錯的，神就是這麼說的

>> I just feel like we're being stuffed with this right now.

我只是覺得...我們好像被迫接受

Why? All of a >> Well, because you don't have to fight for anyone to embrace you.

因為你根本不必為自己爭取什麼，大家都會接受你

And say how wonderful, you have a family and children and.

I'm not out on the cover saying, yup, I'm straight.

我不會登上媒體版面，然後大聲宣告我是異性戀

>> Time has been asking how to get in touch with you.

I got to be stripped down of everything and start all over again.
