Last night, Ellen DeGeneres told her audience<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0she needed to get something off her chest — including her sketchy mole.<\/p>\n

DeGeneres voiced her thoughts\u00a0on Mississippi’s “Religious Liberty” bill<\/a>,\u00a0which was recently approved and signed off by the state’s governor. This new law enables religious persons to deny services (including marriage licenses, adoption and foster care services, employment, and selling property) to the LGBT community due to\u00a0their\u00a0beliefs.<\/p>\n

Ellen said,\u00a0“Now I’m not a political person. I’m really not. But this is not politics — this is human rights. And when I see something wrong, I have to talk about it. It’s the same thing that I do when I see men wearing Spandex in line at Starbucks. It’s wrong and I need to discuss it.”<\/p>\n

Yaaasss, Ellen! She\u00a0stated the new law is essentially\u00a0discrimination and the Supreme Court already ruled on this by making marriage a right for\u00a0everyone<\/em>.\u00a0She also encouraged the LGBT community and said, “Don’t lose hope. I was fired for being gay, but look at me now.”<\/p>\n

And of course, it’s not an Ellen show if she doesn’t end it with a joke. She cheekily said, “I could buy that governor’s mansion, flip it, and make a seven million dollar profit.”<\/p>\n
