I wanted to take a moment and express my "pride" in one of our own, ROSIE O'DONNELL.  I love Rosie, and I always have!  However, I wasn't sure if her presence on the View would be positive or negative for the gay community.

Rosie has really impressed me, and so have the other hosts at the View.  In my gossip blog at the GossipParty.blog, I provide detailed stories and blurbs about the View... so I follow the show closely.  I really enjoy it too!!  I love it that Rosie and her co-hosts (JOY BEHAR, ELISABETH HASSELBACH, BARBARA WALTERS) openly address Rosie's homsexuality. 

Notice I even mentioned Elisabeth.  Those of you who are familiar with the Gossip Party, know that I haven't been to keen on Elisabeth in the past; but she doesn't seem to uncomfortable having to sit beside Rosie.  Maybe her agent told her she can't catch it, maybe she is trying to be more open minded.  Whatever she is doing is working.

Hats off to the View, the hosts, ABC and the viewers for putting the LGBT community in the spotlight and on a positive note!
