Please raise your children with love and non-judgement. Tell them everyone has the right to love who they want to love. It shouldn’t threaten you or who you are.
Interpretation
Children should be raised in an environment of love and acceptance, free from judgment concerning their choices in love.
Ellen DeGeneres emphasizes the importance of nurturing children in a loving and understanding way, encouraging parents to instill values of acceptance and open-mindedness. By promoting the idea that love is a fundamental right, she argues that parental attitudes should not impose restrictions or judgments on whom children choose to love, reinforcing the notion that diversity in love should be embraced rather than feared.

Now,I'm no scientist,but I know what endorphins are. They're tiny little magical elves that swim through your blood stream and tell funny jokes to each other.

So, rather than seeing if perfume irritates a bunny rabbit's eyes, they should throw it in Charles Manson's eyes and ask him if it hurts.
I think beauty comes from actually knowing who you are. That's real beauty to me.
I didn't have a father to deal with about boyfriends. I didn't have a father to show me how a man and woman relate in a family setting. Therefore, I have given over my life to mentoring young people. I'm adamant about young people who have been denied a father/daughter relationship.
Children make your life important.
Gordie, the white boy genius, gave me this book by a Russian dude named Tolstoy, who wrote, 'Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.'
