For Pride Month, Ellen put together some of the most touching LGBTQ moments from her show.

The montage includes Laverne Cox, Barack Obama, Ellen’s announcement of her marriage to Portia, twins who came out to a supportive father, and so many other times Ellen has made visibility a priority.

Last year, LGBTQ Nation put together the Top 10 LGBTQ moments on Ellen’s show, just from 2017.

Ellen sacrificed a successful primetime show to live authentically over two decades ago. And since she got her talk show, she has always made queer people – famous and not-so-famous – a priority.
