Ellen Wins: One Million Moms Group Concedes JCPenney Fight [View all]

[William769]

The group pushing to get Ellen DeGeneres fired from her job as a spokeswoman for JCPenney is giving up, according to an interview with a conservative website.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation sent a celebratory news release today with the headline, "You did it! 'One Million Moms' abandons call for Ellen to be fired."

Monica Cole, director of the One Million Moms organization, which came up with the idea of boycotting JCPenney, tells OneNewsNow that it's time to move on. Still, Cole claims to "have heard back from so many of our members" who say "they will no longer shop there ... as long as Ellen DeGeneres is their spokesperson."

DeGeneres was so offended by a group calling for her firing just for being gay that she actually called out the "haters" on her show. "This time I'd like to talk about it because my haters are my motivators," she said.
