"The View" w/Rosie is changing the world

I'm working from home today so had "The View" on in the background. After watching the first half-hour of the show, I gotta say, Rosie O'Donnell on that show is helping to change the world and cure it of homophobia. Think about how so many times someone who was anti-gay or whatever finds out one of their friends/family members is gay and it changes them. I see it that way with Rosie. So many people feel like they know her and seeing on this show, as herself, is changing their attitudes - and they might not even be aware of it.
For example: Just after the women sat down for the opening 'Hot Topics' segment, Joy Behar looks at Rosie, wearing a sparkly and rather dressy red jacket and casually says: "It brings out your feminine side." Rosie explains that she is wearing it to a dinner later and just wanted to get used to it. She said the last time she had gone to this particular dinner, she wore sweats! So, "I wore it for (wife) Kelli."
I thought, cool. But then Rosie goes further (of course): "When Bette Midler was on the show last week she whispered into my ear: 'I'm so glad you're over that butch phase!" Rosie then admitted that one of her shorter haircuts during the period between the end of her own talk show and joining this one "scared a lot of people."
Anyway, then the BEST part of all. As they cut away to commercial, Rosie showed video of her family (Kelli and their four kids) decorating their Christmas tree. To the sounds of Barbra Streisand's version of "Do You Hear What I hear?" you see the family (and Rosie as Santa!) being a family, a happy, wonderful family. Even the da,ned dog looked happy!
God bless ya Rosie for being you, for sharing your family with America, and for helping to change the world - one viewer at a time.

ONE MORE THING: As is that weren't enough, Behar later welcomed comedienne Judy Gold on to talk about her show "25 Questions for a Jewish Mother" currently playing at St. Luke's Theater in NYC. I had no idea who Gold was but now I do and she is a riot. She's also a lesbian. she just started talking about how her kids have "two Jewish mothers" and Joy interrupts her and says: "You didn't set up that you are a lesbian." Gold says, "Oh yeah, I'm gay. I'm a lesbian mom. Who else is a lesbian mom?"
The camera flashes to Rosie who is sitting in the audience with Elizabeth Hasslebeck (who has calmed down in a good way). Rosie smiled and raised her hand.
