Ellen -- "She's Gay?!"

91. Oh My God! Can Rosie just shut the funk up!!!!!!!! I mean, it's not all about you douchebag!!! She's like ... the contract was on the heels of my show .....
Hey Large Marge!!!! Did you miss the fact that Ellen on her own sitcom came out?!?!? You always say how you had your fat ass parked in front of the tv ... did you miss that episode? I mean Ellen's been out ... came out before she got the talk show. And speaks 'bout Portia on the show from time to time. No, she doesn't force feed the fact that she's a lesbian down people's throats like you do. I don't understand why you have to now start stuff with her. Stay on Dina Lohan ... she needs the battering. Leave Ellen alone. You're alienating everyone from you. If you keep this up you're going to end up with less and less friends ... well atleast true friends.
Grow up!!! It's not all Rosie all the time!!

92. I have a lot of respect for Ellen. She does not go out and throw it in everyones face that she is gay. She is not a loud mouth like Rosie. Ellen is a very likeable person. I do not believe in the gay lifestyle, but I like Ellen. She chooses to live her life like she does but does not force it down everyones throat. She does a great show, great interviews, she is very funny, and people like her WAY WAY WAY more than Rosie. If anything she is one of the best role models for gays. She is also smart, she knows people watch her show to be intertained and for a laugh not to hear her talk about her gay lifestyle or promote her own agenda on how people should act and live. Three cheers for Ellen. I even watch her show. I never watch anything with big mouth Rosie on it. That is what the OFF button is for. So I can shut her up in my home.

93. I came across an article Don't Quote Me: Rosie, Ellen, and Daytime TV
http://www.afterellen.com/archive/ellen/column/2006/5/quote-rosie2.html

I applaud Ellen for"just being herself". She doesnt need to pull the "Im gay" card for attention. She has an amazing personality, she's funny, and people like her. I dont think she keeps it a secret. I dont think she has a special contract not to talk about it. I think she's confident in knowing it doesnt matter. It doesnt define who she is.

There's two types of lesbians.

The type that feel they need to belong to a special group to define themselves. These types brag and boast about being gay, it makes them feel they belong to something that gives them attention and immunity to whatever deficiency they feel within themselves. "Im gay , thats why they dont like me". "Im different than you". "Thats why they disagree with me". "Thats why I dont fit in". "Im in a special club".
Think about it...you often will hear from these types: "I went to this gay bar...", "My friend who's gay..".
Do you hear from straight people: "I went to this straight bar...", "My friend who's straight..". No. Why? Because we are not tryng to tell you; "Hey, Im Gay, Treat me special"!

Then there's the type that just decided, Im going to like what makes me happy. What makes me feel good. They dont care what the rest of the world thinks of their personal choices because they are comfortable with just being who they are.

I dont care who Ellen sleeps with, why would I? Just as I dont care who my straight neighbor sleeps with. Should these people; mixed marriages, gay, lesbian follow what society says is normal, or should they do what their heart tells them is right? Who are we to tell them what to feel?

94. Ellen is HILARIOUS and I love watching her show. She is a person! Her being gay has nothing to do with her success as an entertainer. She's content with who she is and doesn't feel the need to push her own agenda to be successful. Way to go Ellen! Rosie is a BIG, FAT, IN YOUR FACE, SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT LOUD MOUTH, DISGUSTING OAF who thinks that everyone needs and cares what she has to say or what she thinks.

95. Hey Sean:

No one is stopping anyone from doing anything. You sound very angry and bitter. The fact that you have to shout what you are repeatedly shows that you're the one with the problem. By the way, even though no one is telling you what to say or do, doesn't mean that people have to accept it as normal. People are entitled to feel the way they do. You can't force them to feel a certain way. JFTR, I'm not interested in hearing about ANYBODY's sex life -- gay or straight.

96. Rosie is such a jerk. Ellen, on the other hand, has class, humor, tact and integrity. Just shut your mouth, Rosie, and stay home. I, for one, am so sick of hearing about this broad's anger management problems.

97. Rosie sounds like spoiled grapes. She has so much controversy that ALWAYS follows her and I'm sure 98% of her fan base is homosexual. I think she just said this out of jealousy for Ellen. I think Ellen is absolutely one of the funniest people I have ever seen. Her life and humor isn't based on whether someone is gay or not> I LOVE ELLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

98. Rosie will never be in the same class as Ellen.
Rosie has no class.

99. Rosie...needs to take a cue from Ellen.....its not ALL about our sexual orientation

Why does she feel the need to remind everyone that she is gay.....I don't feel the need to remind everyone that I am not. Rosie ..if being gay is just a part of who you are....then spend a little more time.....letting us see there are other sides to your personality.....

You are really blowing your act.....screaming in everyone's face......your anger and rancor are getting old......

Ellen knows there is more to who she is then JUST GAY!!!.......Ellen is just a person.....who happens to be gay.....NOT A GAY PERSON.....WHO HAPPENS TO HATE THE WORLD

100. Rosie's ego has gotten as big as her butt and just as unattractive.
Can't she just go somewhere and never be heard from again??????
Maybe take Paris with her?

101. # 97 --That was said very very well--very lady like and right to the point!

102. #93 Sean............You are the angry reason....that there is so much hate in the world...ignorant people like you are what make intellegent people not want to hold a civil conversation with you....

Just like Rosie...filled with hate and anger....

This conversation is not about Rosie's inability to lip lock Kelly whats her name ...in front of the world....Its about Rosie's need to go kicking innocent people in the ass...just for publicity....Plain and simple...it has nothing to do with her anger at the double standard for gays and straights......

Try a little intellegent thinking.......or DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

104. A couple of years ago, at a wedding I happened to be seated at a table with an advisor to the Univerity of Indiana's RAs. Long story short, we got to talking about role models, and how some gay students thought that Ellen was one of the people in the spotlight that most reperesent them. Turns out when someone is gay, it's not ALL THEY ARE! Shocking, yes? Like straight people, they are more than their sexual oriantation. So, kudos to Ellen! (Or snaps, if you prefer.)

105. The difference between Ellen and Rosie is CLASS! Wasn't Ellen the first to come out of the closet on national TV???????
