Rosie O’Donnell Weds Longtime Girlfriend
2004-02-26
Warning: Attention Whore ahead.
Rosie O’Donnell who is alledged to be a woman married her longtime girlfriend Thursday, taking what she called a proud stand for gay civil rights in the city where more than 3,300 other same-sex couples have tied the knot since Feb. 12. "I want to thank the city of San Francisco for this amazing stance the mayor has taken for all the people here, not just us but all the thousands and thousands of loving, law-abiding couples," the former talk show host, holding a large bouquet of purple and yellow flowers, said after she and Kelli Carpenter emerged from their brief ceremony inside Mayor Gavin Newsom’s office. Earlier Thursday, O’Donnell announced her wedding plans on ABC’s "Good Morning America," just two days after President Bush called for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. "I think the actions of the president are, in my opinion, the most vile and hateful words ever spoken by a sitting president,"
Lets hear it for Bush!
O’Donnell, who lives in the New York City region, said on the program. "I am stunned and I’m horrified. "I find this proposed amendment very, very, very, very shocking. And immoral.
Well... Rosie is an expert on ’shocking and immoral’ behavior....
And, you know, if civil disobedience is the way to go about change, then I think a lot of people will be going to San Francisco. And I hope they put more people on the steps to marry as many people as show up. And I hope everyone shows up." O’Donnell and Carpenter, who have four children together,
WTF??? Which one contributed the sperm?
walked hand in hand down the grand marble staircase in the rotunda to thunderous applause from hundreds of spectators who came to witness the city’s first celebrity same-sex wedding. O’Donnell was wearing a powder-blue blazer, black shirt and black pants; Carpenter wore a gray pantsuit.
At least we know who wears the pants in that family.....
O’Donnell said she decided to marry Carpenter, a former dancer and marketing director at Nickelodeon, during her recent trial in New York over the now-defunct Rosie magazine. During the case, she referred to Carpenter as her wife. "We applied for spousal privilege and were denied it by the state. As a result, everything that I said to Kelli, every letter that I wrote her, every e-mail, every correspondence and conversation was entered into the record," O’Donnell said. "After the trial, I am now and will forever be a total proponent of gay marriage."

#11  What if Rosie and Kelli decide to marry Ellen Degenerate? Shouldn't that be legal, too? Heck, we can even throw in Martina Navratilova. Might as well make it a foursome...What's wrong with four??

#7  Will Rosie be a big proponent of moving the marriage goalposts if the new Mrs Odonnell decides to marry another man or woman while she is still married to Rosie? Since plural marriage has more historical precedent than gay marraige, on what grounds could she protest?

Congratulations Mrs&Mrs Odonnell, you've now ensured that you must file your taxes jointly and thus ensures that they will pay more in taxes, short of that, your 'rights' have changed not a jot.

#6  Gay activist know that if they face the American people they cannot win the marriage issue. Thirty eight states including California have legislatively moved to ban gay marriage. Which is exactly the number of states required for a the constitutional ammendment. Eighty-four senators (including Sen Kerry) and 385(?) congressmen do not want to explain their support for Defence of Marriage Act in an election year.

But judges can do the math as well. They can see that GW, Congress, and the States could actually make the ammendment pass. The Mass Supremes might have their decision sidetracked, and Calif courts might have to address instead of ignoring the law.

So the liberal talking heads and activist gays are trying to trash Bush by turning the conversation around. This debate is no longer about gays, it is all about the terrible cowboy Bush who allows GIs to die in Iraq, allows companys to export jobs, worries about steroids in sports....Gay marriage is akin to Voyage to Mars (sic), no big deal, GW just wasting our time on subject of no import.

You watch how quickly the subject changes when any politician, candidate is asked for his opinion on gay marriage.

#5  On "The Man Show", they went to a Lesbian pride parade and asked 30 lesbians if they would want to sleep with Rosie. Not a single one would. Evidentally, Rosie isn't attractive to most Lesbians; who knew.

#4  "After the trial, I am now and will forever be a total proponent of gay marriage."

Wonder how she'll feel about gay divorce? Will her lawyers pull the "it really wasn't legally recognized" defense to keep her from getting cleaned out? That's what I'm waiting on in this thing. And this bitch's ego is so big, I'm betting it'll happen sooner then later.

#2  Lezzie jokes are too easy and I have great lezzie friends so let's really get down to what matters: This woman Rosie is a fuggin' moron!
Bush's words are "the most vile & hurtful" spoken by a President? What did her Democratic heroes like JFK have to say about women? FDR on Japanese? Woodrow Wilson on African-Americans? The Democrats INVENTED Jim Crow, for crying out loud!!!

C'mon America. Give her another talk show and replenish the millions of dollars she blew on Boy George's show by being a vile and hateful Broadway producer that everyone who worked for hated.
