This web page is the final project for a Women's Studies class at the University of Maryland - College Park entitled Nationalities, Sexualities and Global TV. I have chosen to explore the economic, political, and social impact that Ellen has had on our global community. With the emergence ofthe internet, viwers from around the world can now access and exchange information, share personal stories, and fan fiction, or just chat. I hope this page will provide another outlet for Ellen viewers throughout the world. My analysis has been broken down into the following sections. ENJOY!

The subject matter of Ellen has caused much controversy and excitment throughout the television community worldwide. On April 30th, Ellen Degenres's character will come out as a lesbian. The effects that this announcement have had on both sides of the television community (both producer/advertiser and viewer) have been varied. This controversial subject has gained publicity throughout the world.
