Rosie's OUT!

Many of you may have heard the wonderful news: Rosie will be leaving ABC's The View whenthe season ends in June.  I just have one parting thought for Ro: Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!

If we're lucky maybe Diane Sawyer will join her.

GLBTQ? Oh yeah, and I.....

I am not sure how many more letters the GLBT community is planning to add their list, but hopefully they think the next one through better than they did the last one. 

Q=Questioning.

Forgive me, but doesn't "questioning" imply that they are unsure whether homosexuality is fixed? That one who identifies as gay or lesbian might possibly be mistaken?  That gender is fluid?  That homosexuality is far from inate or immutable?  Changeable even? 

The activist homosexual community spends so much time, effort and energy trying to debunk stories like mine while seeking to convince the world that homosexuality is genetically fixed and unable to be changed. 

The letter Q for questioning seems to indicate that they aren't so sure homosexuality is what they have tried to convince our culture that it is.  Moreover, the "Q" is more like an exclamation point on the statement we use at Exodus: QUESTION HOMOSEXUALITY!

Imus & Tigers & Rosie, OH MY!

Okay, I just need to pose a question: Why isn't Rosie  receiving the same public rebuff that Imus is receiving?  To be sure, Imus's comments about the Rutger's Women's Basketball Team were offensive, inappropriate, immature and racist.  Rosie's comments were offensive, inappropriate, anti-American and all around crazy, yet she still has a seat at the table on ABC's The View.

I believe that our society has rightly criticized Imus, that sponsors of his show were right to pull out and that NBC was right to cancel the simulcast.  But, the same punishment is fitting for Rosie.  Is she still secure in her job because ABC is afraid to fire a millitant lesbian?

I loved her old talk show and I love Ellen's talk show now, so don't think that my disgust for Ms. O'Donnell has anything to do with her homosexuality.
