Let's see. Ellen "comes out" and her show tanks. Rosie "comes out" and her magazine tanks. Trend or coincidence?

coincidence. Them coming out was a desperate ploy for ratings/circulation. I never watched the shows or read the mags,in fact I don't know of anyone who did, on the grounds they were terrible. Actually I once saw "Ellen" (the show that is) and it was very mediocre, absolutely nothing special.

Gay men can have their sense of humor/irony/bitchy theatrical campy-ness, but lesbians really are humorless. Because with them it's all faked emotions --- fake horniness, fake attractions, fake humor. They are, for the most part, bitter unattractive women -- and -- big secret -- when they pair up they immediately stop having sex, because there'e nobody to pretend to anymore.

And Ellen's ex-girlfriend goes straight, gets married, has a baby and now her career flourishes. Those unfeeling American consumers appear to be voting with their dollars!!

Like Ellen Degenerate, Rosie came out to try to save her lucrative TV show that was tanking. Oops...didn't work. LOL

There is a big difference here: Ellen USED her show as a pro-gay advertising vehicle. Rosie never, ever, endorsed, advocated, advertised, or in any way hinted in her MAG a preference for pro-homosexual issues. Have you ever read the mag? My wife, a conservative, tells me it was one of the best womens' mags out there, and totally unlike "Cosmo" or "Redbook."

Masters and Johnson estimated the homosexual population to be ten percent. I think that was too high but even if it was not, I am not sure the target market would be able to support a publication like Rosie!
