Ellen DeGeneres marks the 25th anniversary of her iconic ABC Ellen sitcom coming out episode

On April 30, 1997, DeGeneres and her Ellen character came out as gay in a landmark episode titled "The Puppy Episode." "When I came out, people warned me that it was going to ruin my career, and they were right for a while," DeGeneres said during her opening monologue on Thursday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "Actually, for exactly three years, I lost my career. But look at me now." DeGeneres added: "It really goes to show you how important it is to be your authentic self, and how important it is to accept others as their authentic selves."
