We're not sure how many people watching the Ellen Degeneres show aren't already pro gay-marriage and gay rights, but there has to be some positive effect of having a gay personality beaming out to the viewers of daytime TV. While we never really think of Ellen as a sort of ground breaker, she was, and apparently continues to be. Somehow, her show is important enough that John McCain feels obliged to appear, and when he did, Ellen simply schooled him on his lack of support for gay marriage. Most awkward interview ever. Watch here.
