This petition is to get Sgt. Tanner White, USMC, and Steve Grand on the ELLEN Show!!!

Tanner White is a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps who is out as both gay and HIV Positive. A few months ago, Tanner gained cyber fame by asking singer Steve Grand, who is also a gay man, to the US Marine Corps Ball. The day after the YouTube video went viral, Steve made a video of his own accepting the invitation to the November event, thrilling the hundreds of thousands of well wishers and supporters.

I am putting this petition up today to gain signatures to have both Tanner and Steve on the ELLEN show with Ellen DeGeneres to speak about their lives and the events that brought them to where they are today. Sgt. White is a role model for not just the LGBT or HIV+ communities but for the world. He has faced many difficult situations and braved through them all while serving his country with honor and dedication. Sgt. White was also able to re-enlist in the Marine Corps just hours before the USMC Ball. Mr. Grand is referred to as the first openly gay male country singer who shot to fame after his July 2013 song "All-American Boy" went viral. He was named one of Out Magazine's "Out 100" and Instinct Magazine's "Leading Men" lists in 2013. Both men are activists for LGBT Rights and raise money for several charities. Sgt. White, along with his USMC duties, is the Executive Director of "A Positive Tomorrow" while Mr. Grand has worked with GLSEN, HRC, and WorldPride in Toronto Canada..

I hope you will take the time to sign this petition that I will be forwarding to the staff at The ELLEN Show with the hopes that they will put these two wonderful, dedicated, and inspiring men on the show. Thank you for your support and please share this with your family and friends throughout all social media outlets!!
