Rosie: "Prop 8 is nothing new for me. This has been a long journey...and eventually the world will catch up."

I'm missing Rosie O'Donnell the gay activist right now. She waged a brave battle against the ban on gay adoption in Florida, started the gay family cruises, dramatically traveled across the country to get married in San Francisco in 2004, and during her year as co-host of "The View," she talked about partner Kelli and their four children on the show all the time and I think opened some people's minds.

But as people are marching for equal rights in dozens of states this weekend, Rosie has come off as indifferent. At Friday night's Broadway opening of "Billy Elliot," Rosie spoke to "Extra" and was asked to react to the passing of Proposition 8: "I was married four years and I was annulled three years ago, so for me this fight is not new. Prop 8 is nothing new for me. This has been a long journey...and eventually the world will catch up."

Been there, done that I guess.

She's glad Sarah Palin was not elected veep but said: "I'd like to have a beer with her. I'd like to meet her kids. She seems like a pretty nice woman. Although I have to say, I am thrilled her party did not win. [But] you got to give it to her for spunk."

What has happened to our Rosie?
