"Gay! Ever hear of it?" Amazing!

There's one thing I don't get...You know the part where she said she was sixteen driving around and it hit her "I think I'm gay"? She DID marry a MAN

Love how she acknowledges it's serious and hard for lots of folks to come out, but tells her truth of it not being a big deal to come out in her personal life. She never wanted to hide it, but the adoption issue forced her to talk about it because of the injustice she experienced.

I have vivid memories of her talking about "My Tommy" (Tom Cruise) in the 90s on her talk show. She came out everywhere but on her own show. So much pride.

For a moment i forgot O'Donnell wasn't Roseanne Barr, and when you said you'd found her i was thinking "leave her in there whwre she belongs"! To be clear, meaning Roseanne Barr should get in the bin! Glad you saved Rosie O'Donnell, though, AFAIK she's not a bigot! :)

Meh thats the old testament, as far as the primary readers are concerned Jesus was a whackadoo who ended up being nailed to a tree because he started having issue with their money lending. Lets be honest Leviticus was the nutbar at the party that everyone wanted to leave with the don't lay with men, wearing mixed fabrics and the hatred for eating shrimp.

Straight celebrities constantly get applause for saying they got married, got a new girlfriend, had a baby. Even just being straight and single gets applause.

@@Disciple793 I think you already know the answer, but here it is: Because straight people make up the majority and don't get discriminated against.

It's because gay people are still discriminated against. Gay people struggle to belong, while straight people often just fit right in. I think you want someone to clap for you.

@toga7863 8 ай бұрын

in 2002 coming out was a big deal, of course it was it was 2002! same sex marriage wasn’t even legal in the US until 2015. why would we applaud straight people for their sexual orientation when they’re already openly accepted in society and are the “norm.” in 2023 it’s becoming more common for LGBT people to come out so eventually one day we will treat being LGBT as the norm as well and don’t have to applaud them but for now many people still have to worry about discrimination

@auntoneyofuntease6704 9 ай бұрын

What's the big deal about "coming out"? I'm hetero, do I need to come out because I like making babies? So what she likes women. We have too many people on this planet anyway, we need more gay non-baby making people.

@Twinklestar132 4 ай бұрын

Maybe it’s because you won’t be discriminated or even persecuted in certain countries for being straight.

@lukerinderknecht2982 16 күн бұрын

So should gay people never reveal a very large aspect of their lives? Like who their partner is? Could you imagine never mentioning your wife in social situations? Or having to pretend she's just your "roommate"? Obviously not because straight is the "default". People aren't bullied for being straight. They don't have slurs yelled at them for being straight. They aren't subjected to the judgement of large parts of society or religious institutions. Their rights aren't targeted by unfair laws. Coming out just means you can be open about who you are. Even in spite of all that, you're acknowledging it's more important to live your true self than lead a miserable life of hiding out of fear of hate.

hi Brittany Cunningham -- it is clear you have absolutely no medical, social, or developmental knowledge of what is healthy for a child. it is much better for a child to have two parents who are supportive, stable, and give them a great home and great education and great opportunities.

Agreed. Every kid needs one male and one female parental figure to be able to emotionally grow and not end up socially inept. Not two abnormal gay or transgender freaks which consequently can lead to the kid being abnormal as well.
