People were upset, they thought why is a gay Hollywood liberal sitting next to a conservative Republican president. Here's the thing, I'm friends with George Bush, in fact I'm friends with a lot of people who don't share the same beliefs that I have, Ellen DeGeneres, via 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'.
Just because I don't agree with someone on everything doesn't mean that I'm not going to be friends with them. , Ellen DeGeneres, via 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'.
When I say be kind to one another I don't mean only the people that think the same way that you do, I mean be kind to everyone.

ability to befriend someone with such
opposite views, others condemned her.
