Ellen DeGeneres recently talked about her pre-taped interview with Caitlyn Jenner for the reality TV star’s appearance on “The Ellen Show.” The talk show host recalled what Jenner said about gay marriage and told Howard Stern that Caitlyn’s stance on homosexual marriage baffles her.

In an interview with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show, Ellen said Caitlyn’s view on gay marriage is “really confusing.” During Jenner’s interview on “The Ellen Show,” Jenner reportedly didn’t sound too convinced that she should also be pro-gay marriage. In the video below taken from her interview with Stern, Ellen says the former Olympian, who had undergone surgery to be a transsexual, didn’t seem “on board with it.”

Ellen told Stern that Caitlyn “still has a judgement about gay marriage.” She then recalled their conversation during the show, in which Ellen called out Jenner for her stand on gay people and gay marriage.

“I said, ‘You’re wanting people to understand and accept you. This is like, really confusing to people and you still have a judgement about gay people and marriage,’” Ellen said, to which Stern replied, “That’s crazy.”

Jenner reportedly asked Ellen if gay marriage is important, to which she told her, “It is, that’s the word.”

Picking up on the conversation, Stern likewise shared his thoughts on Caitlyn’s statements and said, “Here’s a person on TV crying, ‘I want to be myself. I want to be genuine. I don’t want people to ridicule me,’ and then says in the same breath, ‘Gee, gay marriage, I don’t get it,’ It’s remarkable.” Stern added that “it doesn’t make sense” for Jenner not to truly understand gay marriage.

According to MSN News, when asked for her stance on homosexual marriage, Jenner simply referred her answers to legalities and said, “It’s pretty much going to be the law of the land. So I feel like I’m okay with it.”

Despite their opposing views on gay marriage, Ellen told Stern she’s happy and grateful that Caitlyn agreed to be on her show. She added that their interview was great, although she said that she is still trying to understand Caitlyn’s view on gay marriage.
