"I'm a dyke!" she said as part of her act at the Ovarian Cancer Research benefit at Carolines Comedy Club.

Why are the really sexy women always gay?

[nmh]

Why do they call themselves "gay"? They are anything but "gay". I see it as a term of homo mockery - gay.

Rosie is one sick person. She should be banned from children, much less a "gay" adoption advocate.

[erikm88]

It seems most celebrities have a real problem with knowing what their true identity is, or even who they are...

One day they're this... another day they're that... get over it, get a life, and be yourself....

[camle]

so like who cares??? The only good news is that now I don't have to contemplate her and some guy! (bad visual)

[mad puppy]

Her show must be taking a dive (too).

Sorry in advance.

[End Times Sentinel]

Rosie O’Donnell gay… Well, I find that hard to believe, but at least it’s comforting to know that her spurning my romantic overtures wasn’t a personal reflection on me…

”Guns Before Butter.”

Rosie O'donnel is a lesbian.

This is about as unexpected and groundbreaking as the coming out of Nathan Lane or Michael Stipe. It's as newsworthy as the finding that water is wet.

[ThreeYearLurker]

Nathan Lane is GAY!!! You've got to be kidding!!!

< /sarcasm>

[ncdrumr]

"I'm a dyke!" "I'm sick of being (expletive) nice." "I never said I wanted (to perform a sex act on him)."

How motherly.

[Dimensio]

Nathan Lane is GAY!!! You've got to be kidding!!!

*snicker*

Actually, he never really "came out". He said that he didn't think it necessary -- anyone who hadn't figured it out has problems.

[Marianne]

Another four-mouthed feminist.

[rockfish59]

drop dead, ya' fat bitch!

[Don Joe]

"'I'm a dyke!' she said"

She forgot the "bull" part.

"I'm sick of being (expletive) nice."

Didn't take much, did it. (Exactly how did that bent-handled battle-axe ever get tagged with the "nice" monicker anyway?)

"'Oh, but you were lying,' the gay Nazis say. 'You said you liked Tom Cruise.' I said I wanted him to mow my lawn and bring me a lemonade. I never said I wanted (to perform a sex act on him)."

"What 'is' is."

[RAT Patrol]

Gays should be allowed to adopt all children that are the result of a gay union.

Rosie loves her kids, I don't doubt that. But does she love them enough to provide proper gender roll models? Those kids of hers, whether she likes it or not, are here on this earth because of the joining together of one man and one woman. PERIOD! Kids need to understand where they came from. Parents who give kids up for adoption should be able to choose what kid of person or family gets the kid.

"Why are the really sexy women always gay?"

I'm sorry, but you've exceeded your sarcasm allocation for this month. Any attempts to invoke it will result in a draw from your emetic allocation. Oops, I shoulda warned ya sooner, sorry.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

It's as newsworthy as the finding that water is wet.

BTW, another news flash, it gets dark at night.

[tracer]

The only stage that Rosie deserves to be on is leaving town this evening......

[Bonaparte]

Exactly how did that bent-handled battle-axe ever get tagged with the "nice" monicker anyway?

Probably the same way Don Rickles got tagged "Mr. Warmth" -- facetiously.
