What's wrong about Rosie O'Donnell coming out is the fact that she perpetrated a fraud upon her young and vulnerable, fun-loving audience by pretending to be what she's not. A delightful straight lady acting like a big kid. The glaring example is that she lied to Diane Sawyer and the March 14, 2002 ABC News Primetime audience when she said that she didn't mislead or deceive her viewers into believing that she had a mad crush and a (sexual) love thing for Tom Cruise.

For Rosie, coming out is merely about what's right for her, not what's right. Clearly, she and Diane Sawyer are so self-absorbed that they think the viewing public can't see how blatantly they exploited the tragedies of aids-ridden children, troubled foster kids and social orphans in the pursuit of celebrity ambitions and a biased agenda by gay/lesbian activists and the news media.

Just because the entertainment industry knew about Rosie's hypocritical secret, it certainly doesn't mean that all of the kids who worshiped the stage she walked on knew anything about it. Alas, they didn't know and she has exacted unconscionable damage upon a multitude of innocent minds.

Nevertheless, it's a shame that Rosie's image was doing some good for young people until she got too personal and political where she didn't belong, the fate of too many egoistic celebrities. Her do-gooder mirage has little to do with doing the right thing for children. For Rosie, it's all about selfish interests, doing her thing for herself and the gay/lesbian political agenda, and the wrong thing for helpless children and a painfully disheveled society.
