Ellen -- "She's Gay?!"

76. Ellen is successful (AS ROSIE IS NOT!) because she is not in your face about her sexuality. Ellen is secure in her life and I'm sure she doesn't feel the need to push it off on others. I admire Ellen. She entertains...that is her business. As for Rosie, she's gross. Rosie is an Ellen wanabe and please, there is NO comparison. Ellen has talent and Rosie has.....well she's gross.

77. Yes Rosie we all know that Ellen Is Gay ......Difference is ...... she has other things to talk about besides her sexual orientation. just like the rest of the world, Rosie has an agenda .....free the gays .....Ellen is just plain funny . and OUT .....but Rosie wants to Out her More......so she gets disliked as much as Rosie . Trust me Rosie its not you r Gayness that people dislike, Its your big stupid bad mouth, FOUL FOUL

78. THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS ELLEN IS GAY. HOWEVER, ELLEN HAS TOO MUCH CLASS AND DIGNITY TO DEGRADE HERSELF OR HER PARTNER IN COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION. THEREFORE, EVERYONE RESPECTS HER FOR THAT. YOU GO GIRL!!!

79. Well....tj\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s,
Ellen and Rosie are two very different people as stand-up comics and actors. Rosie had a fantastic show and wasn't afraid to tell the truth....as she saw it and there's nothing wrong with that. Ever watched Bill Maher? He has his own show and tells his truth and no one, or not many anyway, come down on him. There's still the right to free speech in the U.S. although not over the top like Don Imus' example. No two comics do their thing the same way and why should they??!
Rosie is not necessarily combative.....she simply has strong feelings about what's going on in the world and The View gives her that forum. She's not an Ellen "wannabe". That's not fair! Each woman is great.....in her own way. Each woman has her own style and that's the important thing. Perhaps in watching Ellen's show today about mother's day, Rosie misunderstood Ellen's inability to walk straight up and then follow that about you all know I'm not.....as hiding her sexuality. She's not. Those who watch her show and read People magazine, online, or newspapers, know she's got another woman in her life now....her "perfect fit". For that, I'm happy for Ellen. Both women have experienced some really rough times growing up. Each came out in the best way for them. I say, let's give Rosie and her alleged opinions, a break.
Personally, I'd like to see Rosie guest on Ellen and let them talk Rosie's feelings out and maybe she might get to understand Ellen, better. Or, better than that, it would be great if Rosie could talk to Betty DeGeneres, Ellen's mom and Betty could explain to Rosie that Ellen chooses to live her life, a little differently than Rosie.
Ellen's had several unfortunate relationships in her life while Rosie has only had the one relationship.....with Kelli Carpenter. Each woman has taken her own path to freedom. Being lesbian is much more acceptable than it ever was before, but....there are still some segments of society who give the lesbian and gay community, grief. What worked for Rosie, might not have worked for Ellen, in coming out. Both women are very funny, very talented and I personally, wish they could work together, peacefully.

80. I don't remember Rosie mentioning she was gay until she knew she was quitting her Daytime show. She was once loved by so many and now she reminds me of that big mouth Roseanne Barr. Can't stand to even watch her anymore

82. Ellen is seen as a nice person, people like her, and yes she happens to be gay. It is a non issue. On the other hand is Rosie a mean spirited person that also happens to be gay. I watch Ellen because she is funny, nice and talented. I don't watch Rosie because she is not funny she is just mean.

83. Is Carol Mariane (post#77) Rosie's publicist? lol how desperate. Get the part how "Ellen had many relationships, Rosie one". what dose that tell me? Rosie found one person in her entire life to hang out with her? It just wont work for me. I don't hate Rosie. But I do avoid her.

84. Ellen Degeneres is a classy lady, and I don't believe that she would sign a contract forbidding her to talk about being gay. She is out and she is proud and she is my favorite all-time daytime host. Ilove Ellen.

Rosey is a fat, miserable and hateful bitch.

85. She posted an apology on her website after being confronted by Ellen's staff. Acc to Rose, "
I was mistaken". Too late, busted-just another example of her saying whatever she wants and then saying it as gospel. Go away, Rosie--and take your big mouth with you.

86. So, what? Ellen just isn't gay enough for Rosie because she doesn't feel the need to be agressive about it.

Watch this Rosie montage. It's hillarious.

87. Ellen is a wonderful person. she seems so full of joy. Rosie just needs to lose some weight ( her mouth). I cannot see a male or a female kissing that whale call Rosie.

90. Being gay myself, I feel so much respect for how Ellen has dealt with the pressures of being out and so visible. She walks through her day as many of us out do. We are kind and good people who sometimes get meanspirited remarks or silly ones (like I'm sometimes asked if I know Ellen or Rosie just because we are all suppose to know each other? I laugh and say no.) Rosie is sad to me. She has let her frustrations turn into a toxin and that isn't good for her or anyone around her. I hope she takes a break, enjoys her family and thinks about things. I send both of them compassion and love. I think we all need that these days.
