It's about the episode of The Ellen Show (with Ellen DeGeneres) where Ellen came out of the closet. Melissa Ethridge did a cameo and gave her a toaster for a coming out gift.
2. It's a joke from the old Ellen DeGeneres sitcom...
When a lesbian "recruits" a straight woman into the ranks, the lesbian gets a new toaster oven. You know, like a bank giving you a free phone or movie tickets or something for opening a new checking account.
It's a backhanded slap at the RW re their silly notions about the "gay agenda."
I love Ellen. She cracks me up. Her stand-up never fails to make me laugh. She also seems to be a regularly nice sorta gal. AND... Her brother used to be on The Daily Show.
