    Ahhh I watched this episode today, Ellen may not do alot of talking about the lbgt community but this is definitely a credit for her in my book

    Wow,

    Not sure what else there is to say. I am glad that Constance has been rewarded for standing up for herself. I remember when i read the first story about this case i thought it would sort of drift into the background like so many do without ever being rectified. I am glad that it has been kept at the forefront and is still progressing in a positive manner.

    ok feck it im gonna go negative here, why the hell does she get a $30, 000 scholarship? what has she done to deserve that she stood up for who she is and i applaud that but this is a lot of money and a total publicity gig for whoever the hell they are giving it her plus put a few ticks in Ellen's show but this seems excessive to me. hmm maybe its the British in me a hand shake a tv interview and a congratulations would be all id expect to see.

    perhaps Ellen sees it as an investment in a person who can make a change. Constance can leave for a good college/university and live a good life.:shrug:

    I hate to say it but I kinda agree, these things happen every year and none of the other lbgt people who fought to go to prom never got a thing, except maybe gay bashed if it was a male
