Today was a pretty awesome #FlashbackFriday.
Ellen’s monologue on her talk show honored the big moment that she came out as gay on her syndicated television show, 20 years ago.
It was the first time a lead character had ever come out. Ellen also revealed why the episode was called the “Puppy Episode.”
Take a look at the video! It’s pretty amazing and a good reminder of how far we’ve come!
