"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.
You literally just reiterated everything she said.
Rosie, you are the best. I love you.
I love her too.
Rosie and Conan. Two of my favorite people.
I love that the kids she describes are 1940's brooklyn gangsters.
Love Rosie. ❤️
Her way of speaking has always reminded me of my recently departed aunt. But she wasn’t gay, she was just a Capricorn.
She's not gay. She's just a Capricorn. Lol
Ooh, I'm a gay Capricorn 🐐
@@lukerinderknecht2982 idk why but I feel like gay capricorns are the best kind of gays, and capricorns. ❤️
Love her 💜💜 jacket! Damn she's so funny here😂
Love you Rosie.
Was today years old when I learned. I guess I had no idea😂❤
Conan supports LGBT people! 😃
anyone who's upset by that should work on the hatred in your own heart. 💗
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! :)
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.
I think she would go straight for My Tommy... or at least fake it. 😎
I saw her in South Park lol
Guess the chub club didn’t work out.
Don't be an asshole
Why come out? Why dont you just be gay!?😊 its ok😊 just be!
What an obnoxious statement.
Good times, when LGBT was not like what it is today
I’m a lesbian. It’s a total shit show now
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.
Maybe it’s because you won’t be discriminated or even persecuted in certain countries for being straight.
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.
When was the last time a celebrity received applause for saying I'm straight?
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.
@@virg0_lem0nade I mentioned sexual orientation as a reason for applause, not getting married, having a baby or finding a new boyfriend or girlfriend.
@@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.
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
Leviticus 18:22
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.
Repent or remember my message in hell for eternity. I tell you the truth: I met Jesus. Don't tell Jesus I didn't tell you.@@Mr2greys You will say, "Why didn't I listen to that woman on CZcams. I wouldn't listen!!!"
What a gross thing to day in an interview
Who cares.
Ewwww
Put the mirror down.
No the law was not unjust. Kids dont want or need 2 gay parents
Shameful comment. Kids want and need people that love them unconditionally. The law was unjust and bigoted.
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.
I agree with you Brittany.
But there are many lunatics nowadays that will not.
A single mom with dudes in and out her house is much better?
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.
