An Indianapolis guidance counselor told Ellen DeGeneres her future remains “in limbo” after officials at the Catholic high school where she works put her on paid administrative leave last month when they learned she’s in a same-sex marriage. Shelly Fitzgerald dropped by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Monday, where she discussed being told by administrators at Roncalli High School that her job of 15 years would be on the line if she chose not to “dissolve” her marriage. Fitzgerald and her wife, Victoria, have been married for four years, but together for 22 and have a 12-year-old daughter. She told DeGeneres she decided to speak out only after officials released public statements about the status of her employment last month. The host, however, saved the biggest (and best) surprise for last, presenting the students with a check for $25,000 toward their campaign.
