Roseanne Barr blasts gay activists...

celebritypuke-rosanne2.jpgRoseanne Barr may have included gay characters in her 'Rosanne" sitcom and even kissed Mariel Hemingway, but she had some pretty uncool things to say on her radio show (she has a radio show?) about gay actvists:
"Never once in my 54 years have I ever once heard a gay or lesbian person who's politically active say one thing about anything that was not about them. They don't care about minimum wage, they don't care about any other group other than their own self because you know, some people say being gay and lesbian is a totally narcissistic thing and sometimes I wonder. I've never heard any of them say anything except for 'accept me 'cause I'm gay.' It's just, it's screwed. It's no different than the evangelicals, it's the same mindset. They want you to accept Jesus and you guys want us to all believe it's OK to be gay. And a lot of us, a lot of them, I do, I don't give a damn who anybody has sex with, as long as they're not underage and an animal. I don't give a damn, it's none of my damn business. I'm just sick of all the divisiveness, it's not getting any of us anywhere."
Hmmmmmmmm. Roseanne Barr blasting people for being narcissistic.
Pretty ironic.

Very strange. I was on her radio show last week. Her people called me up to come on to talk about Obama and we chatted about him and a host of other thing, the fact that I'm gay and have written extensively about gay issues was mentioned. But I wasn't talking about being gay to the exclusion of everything else.

Maybe this new outburst came from one of Roseanne's other personalities.
