ROSIE-COLORED GLASSES

Is Rosie O’Donnell a lesbian? She has a female companion who accompanies her to most social events and lives with her and her children. In response to a New York Magazine essay (essentially ripping off my New York Times Magazine piece of over a year ago – see “Not So Straight Story” in the Greatest Hits), O’Donnell gives a meek acknowledgement. In today’s Daily News, “O’Donnell’s spokeswoman says that Rosie and her girlfriend “never hide away. Rosie’s sexuality has never been important to her and it’s not going to be now. I don’t think it’s important to her public. She is what she is. Rosie has no problem with the article.” Ok, she’s a lesbian. Or did I read that wrong?
