In either case, I completely support both of them to be whatever and whoever and however they want to be. Yay public dykes!

I am glad she is standing up to things. Maybe you are right a person should stand up 100% and strongly for what they believe. I just hate to see her burn so many bridges in front of people at this Women's luncheon. I hope more people felt the same way as she did. I agree with you about Rosie.

I was nodding along as I read what you wrote til I got to that last line. Ellen is great, but we don't need more "ellen". We need all kinds of different women... and in particular, some *fearless* speakers. Ellen isn't one to step on toes, and that works for her comedy and daytime show, but American television had grown far too good at drowning out the strong female voices -- those who aren't afraid to call things as they are and point out the mind control passing as legitimate journalism these days. Rosie made her money, found her love and started her family... she has everything she needs so she is at a perfect point in her life to not play by network rules. If she were a man saying the things she does, we'd have given her a show, newspaper column and be urging her to run for president by now. But because she's a woman and furthermore, gay, she gets dismissed as the "angry lesbian". She isn't angry, she's opinionated... and more of us should be.
