Rosie To O: Admit It, Already!

1921. Gossip ! Don't spread it . Rosie I believe is a nice person she just Sometimes speaks before thinking. As we all do sometimes. That tongue can get us in trouble. So speak kind words about one another.

1922. It is a shame that Rosie has to drag good old fashion closeness and sisterhood into the arena of "gaydom". To me she presents greater discrimination on heterosexuals by eluding that any touching or closeness of friends must be an act of supressed homosexuality. Rosie lost touch with reality a long time ago and, in my opinion, lost the respect of a broad based fan club and, instead, became a hysterical advocate and self appointed spokesperson for the gay community.

1923. Personally, I don't care who Rosie, Oprah or Gayle (or anyone else, for that matter) love or sleep with. I have a best girlfriend whom I've know for many years. She is gay and she is the kindest and best person I've ever known. Being gay doesn't take away from who you are. It also doesn't add to who you are, either. People are people... this is way overdone.
And for all you bible thumpers out there.....remember, judge not lest yea be judged.

1924. Rosie thinks that everyone is a little bit gay, and everyone thinks she is a little bit streight.

1925.

WHY ARE YOU LOSERS , SO CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT OPRAH DOES IN HER BEDROOM?
IT JUST SHOWS HOW MUCH YOU NEED TO GET A "LIFE" IF YOU HAVE TIME TO BE WORRIED
ABOUT SOMEONES SEX PRACTICES. OPRAH IS A REMARKABLE WOMAN , AND I REALY DONT
CARE WHO SHE SLEEPS WITH. BESIDES , SHE'S A BILLIONARE AND YOU ARE WHAT?

1926. So she gets all inuslted with Kelly Rippa & calls her homphobic, and then turns around to mock asian people. Now she's enlightening viewers with yet another of her bar room topics--"I think Oprah is a little bit gay".
She's a big mouth hypocrit who has no business entertaining outside the comedy clubs. I don't watch anything that she's a part of.
Personally, I hope she keeps it up because she hangs herself quite nicely.

1927. Rosie is a big sloppy jackass. She is the reason this family no longer watches the view. She thinks all hetero people are sinful out of touch, she trhinks we are the ones that need help, but she is sooooooo wrong. If she would just keep her stupid mouth shut we would all be better off. She is not as smart as she thinks she is, as a matter of fact she is stupid ass. She has n ot talent for anything except stupidity.. Shut up please Rosie.

1928. I am sick to death watching Rosie sitting like a man, at least she could do is sit proberly with her feet not sticking in someones face. She cannot hold a candle to Oprah, at least she's spreading her wealth around. The worst thing the View ever did was to put her (Rosie) on the show. Shame on you Barbara

1929. I think this whole discussion is ridiculous and nothing more than Rosie getting people to talk about an issue she advocates. Oprah is more in touch with her own strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, emotions, crutches and vices than anyone I've ever seen. She admits to everything on her show, especially if it's been talked about in public. She addressed this topic on her show more than once and said they are just pals. Why on earth would she not admit to this if it were true? And why on earth does having a good girl pal automatically raise eyebrows about homosexuality? I think this is nothing more than Rosie's nasty way of gaining attention-- negative or otherwise-- for homosexuality and homophobia. After all, accuse and people will talk. She's got all of us and the media talking about it, now doesn't she?

1930. I will pray for you #8 because you are obviously in a lot of pain to pass judgment. Judgements are always projections of our own issues.

1931. what does it matter if she is gay or hetro?

1932. I don' think Rosie was talking about homosexuality the way we usually think of it. If you'll forgive the unintended pun, life, and people, are just NOT that "black & white" I, myself, have been called a "heterosexually identified bisexual" by friends a number of times - and know any number or people who admit to the occasional attraction to - or strong emotional bond with, a person of the same sex while they are otherwise heterosexually oriented. SO WHAT?

Just as an FYI: I middle aged, no married, never had sex with a woman, never been in a long term live in relationship with anyone, but have born and raised a child (a son - if that matters) I live a full and satisfying life. Once upon a time, BFF often set up housekeeping and lived together their entire lives. It was often called (at least in New England where I live) a "Boston Marriage" - and - while there was certainly discreet and private speculation as to the private goings on between these woman, none really cared all THAT much. To quote a Women's History article at About.Com re: Boston Marriage: "Whether these were lesbian relationships -- in the sexual sense -- is debatable and debated. The likelihood is that some were, some weren't." The primary purpose of these relationships was companionship, mutual protection (in reality and reputation) and a certain amount of economic co depandance in a world that was not kind to educated and professional woman who lived alone.

I think we all need to let go of our preconceived notions about how heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual "look."

1933. Since you reference the bible so openly you must have read all of it, and since you chose to use this quote, which you incorrectly quoted anyway the quote you are referencing is Leviticus 18:22 and it is more like this "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." Though I find Leviticus a very interesting book I am not sure you would like to keep all the rules in it, and not just that one. For example does your husband assuming you have one live in the same home as you while you are menstrating? If so then he is just as much in sin as the homosexuals that you blast so openly. As stated in Leviticus 18:19 "And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time."

Also does it not say in the bible if your right eye has sinned against you cut it out for it is better to enter the kingdom of heaven blind than not at all. If your tongue sins against you cut it out for it is better to enter the kingdom of heaven mute than not at all. When part of your body sins do you cut it off? When you speak harshly to another person as you have just done it is not acting as Jesus would isn't that too a sin? Do you cut out your tongue? Or in this case your fingers? If not then perhaps you need to think more about how you take the bible literally, either take it all literally or take the time to step back and read the whole book. You will find that Leviticus is mostly health codes, you see in that time period science didn't exactly go over well and so we didn't know as much about medicine and pathology (diseases) as we do now. These health codes were to prevent people from getting ill because plainly there was no real scientific understanding of how diseases were transmitted.

So please next time you would like to discuss MY sin, take a stronger look at your own.

By the way, not only am I a Lesbian I am also the grandchild of an Independant Catholic Priest, and an Active member of the church.

Oh and as for Rosie, I love her and She does bring an interesting point about Oprah.

Thank you for your time,
Dani

1934. who cares if ANYONE is gay or not. it's none of your god damn business. oh and by the way, if god and jesus did exist they would strike your homophobic asses down.

****************hey!!! conservative religious homophobic *ssholes of america... this is what you say...**********************

***(Being Gay is a sin, just like stealing or killing. You have to have the will power to say NO to sin.

****continues on to say****

I would not be bragging about being gay, why would you want everyone to know about your sinful ways. That is really sick.

Read the Bible, but don't skip over the part that says, A man shall not lay down with a man and a woman should not lay down with a woman.

I will be praying for you Rosie.

***(save your breath and your time praying for Rosie to convert to heterosexuality. I think she'd prefer it that way. Plus, I'd recommend that you spend that time confessing your own pride and judgmental nature (get the plank out of your eye...). Jesus hates your kind of sin just as much as he hates any sin. ...if Jesus even gives a %#$@.

Posted at 1:42PM on Sep 20th 2006 by ubiquitousbravado)***

don't you think it's awful cocky to say you know what god thinks? maybe YOU should all spend time re-reading the part in the bible that was written by god or jesus... oh wait... they didn't write your stupid bible, did they? Who was it that wrote the bible?

MEN. ordinary men that thought they were spiritually better off than everyone else. and you know the people who read the bible? they are the delusionals who preach the words of men. not god. and not jesus.

1935. Homosexuality is a diversion from heterosexuality; hence the word perversion. Ever hear of sodom and gomorrah? Rosie O' Dumbell is nothing more than an over stuffed diesel dike, trying to justify her degenerate lifestyle & warped values by saying that we all feel a little queer. The fact that the word gay was stolen by the pc/queer people is bad enough. What ever happened to the hollywood people of yesteryear who were more concerned with being patriotic & supporting their men in uniform, than sitting around with a bunch of hags talking about hollywood sewer-pipe refuse? Instead of the view, it should be called the pe-u!
