From the Musical:
Jade Esteban Estrada as Ellen DeGeneres
ICONS: The Lesbian and Gay History of the World, Vol. 1

Ellen DeGeneres:

If I was your lesbian star

And made all your dreams come true

Would I have anything left for me?

 Hollywood is a dream, but it's not all that it seems

Maybe I should ask

What would you do?

 

The Advocate, Out Magazine, Genre, Girlfriends

Everybody wants to know when their TV princess will

Stand and say, that she’s gay

 

Would you still laugh with me

If I came out on TV

My agent says I’ll be part of history

 

The big man at ABC

Is just there starin’ at me

He’s wondering to himself

What will I do?

I could just admit that my TV character is coming out

And that I’m not a Lesbian, ha!

I’m not gay. Hey!

 

If I were your lesbian star 

And made all your dreams come true

Would I have anything left for me?

 

Well…here it goes. Press conference protection shields—ACTIVATE

Hello, there!

Good to see ya!

Hi!

Thank-Thank you!

It's a Ver-Sace

 

Thank you all for coming now I know you all have questions

Let’s just do this slowing one at a time

Tonight we air the episode when Ellen Morgan comes out

People say my show’s ahead of its time

Now I have always given you my very best!

I make you laugh, I make you cry now you’re all asking questions

That might put your love for me to the test

 

Do you really really want to know?

Do you say you really have to know?

My Point---and I do have one is

 

Yep, I’m gay

Hey-ey-ey

And like a superstar I’ll make the cover of Time Magazine!

 

And I’ll say

Hey-ey-ey

You’ve got to go with who you are

The icons of history’ve brought me far

And neither Disney nor ABC take that from me

 No, me and Melissa Etheridge are not dating...

 

k.d. lang and I are not cutting an album together, no...

 

Good question. Thank you...

More important than good ratings—well, to me

I think I’d rather be an Emmy winner of people’s hearts

What do we have left if we don’t have our self esteem

Some have it later on and some from the start

To hide my fear I always wore a funny face!

And I don’t believe in outing anyone who isn’t ready

And by the way---I’m dating Anne Heche.

 

As you really really want to know

As you say you really have to know

My point! And I do have one is

 

Yep, I’m gay

Hey-ey-ey

And like a superstar I’ll make the cover of Time Magazine!

 

And I’ll say

Hey-ey-ey

You’ve got to go with who you are

The icons of history have led us far

And neither Disney nor ABC take that from me

 

If I were your lesbian star

And made all your dreams come true

Would have I have anything left for me?

 

And so to answer your question, yet again....

Yep, I’m gay!
