Yes, some advertisers pulled their ads, but new subscribers were soon found to fill their place. If the Ellen Degeneres character really does reveal herself as a lesbian, then it would be the first time in television in which the lead character on a situation comedy was openly homosexual. Some people might consider the idea of Ellen as a lesbian as personally distasteful, but just that is not going to make them choose to watch or not to watch the show. As the country enters the 21st century, there really isn't much out there that would make the majority of people in this country change the channel. Especially with the circus acts now masquerading as television talk shows, nothing seems to be taboo on television.
