Ellen 'No Agenda' DeGeneres Raises Funds for Gay Marriage in Alabama

February 1st, 2015 9:06 AM

Remember when Ellen DeGeneres lied on national television by insisting “I don't have an agenda”? Here’s one routine pitch for viewers to contribute to the gay-marriage (or "family equality") fight on Ellen’s website, on this occasion for two lesbians in Alabama:

Kim and Cari have been fighting for marriage equality in Alabama since 2008. Apart from their desire to bring equality to all of the citizens of Alabama, they’re fighting for their son, Khaya, and their right to be legally recognized as his parents.

Their efforts have recently made incredible strides in Alabama, but their nearly decade-long battle has left them with many legal bills.

You can help Kim and Cari, and their cause of equality in Alabama by making a donation to the LGBT Wave of Hope.
