She should have taken lessons from Ellen Degenerate and realize that, although much of society have pretty grown to understand homosexuality, it not yet 100% accepted by everyone. When Ellen came out of the closet and then tried to change the character of her sitcom, her sitcom failed. When Rosie came out of the closet (though many had their suspicious), both her talk show and magazine failed. But when Amanda Bearse admitted to being gay, she changed nothing about her character on "Married With Children" and went on to become successful with the sitcom until it ended. Maybe Rosie and Ellen should take notes.
