    Dysfunction and/or splits in gay relationships always leave me feeling very conflicted and distressed.

    Growing up in the LGBT community (because of my lesbian mother), I always felt like there was this unspoken pressure to always put on the best front for any aspect of relationships, family, and behaviour, as if any conflict within your personal interactions and actions could cast shame on the gay community as a whole. Rarely did anyone say explicitly to my mother, "If you air your drama with your girlfriend to the public, you are doing your peers a disservice", but I could see she felt like she had to keep any 'negative' emotions to herself, lest she be responsible for someone thinking poorly of homosexuals overall.

    In a similar vein, I was never comfortable talking about problems at home, because I felt as if there would be immediate judgment--well, no wonder your child is doing poorly in school...look at the home she's being reared in.

    It's stupid. I KNOW it's stupid, in part of my brain. It boils down to my own selfishness, really--I don't want to have to defend the LGBT community from pinheads. But the same cultural meme that makes it known that same-sex PDA is unacceptable, even when heterosexual public affection isn't, and a delinquent child is caused by being raised by homosexual men, not because those men are just lousy parents overall, is the same one that makes me wince when I see a story like Rosie and her wife's. I want them to work it out, selfishly, so I don't have to deal with anyone's I told you so's. #rosieodonnell

    @Cafezinha: I, too was raised in an LGBT household, and instead of even giving us a chance to share our family experience, and things my sister and I did (which was to speak up and be generally sassy) was punished with a peer saying, "watch it, or you'll end up like your mother." It's a hard life, sometimes, but well worth the love and and affection that parents who really love each other can give. #rosieodonnell

    @Cafezinha: This really struck a chord with me, thank you for sharing. Writers like Jan Moir (look up the article she wrote for the Daily Mail last week) offer good reason for this "false front" portrayed by LGBT people & their families facing problems. A gay celebrity can't even die of natural causes without highly speculative BS being extrapolated onto the entire LGBT community, so I guess this has become an ingrained cultural response to homophobic analysis in mainstream media. #rosieodonnell

    @Cafezinha: Oh, I totally understand. I'm gay, and I do feel tremendous pressure to have a really super healthy relationship with my girl. But the truth is that we fight, and bicker, and are occasionally petty with each other. Just like everyone else, I imagine.

    But even my (well meaning) friends say things like "Oh, you guys are so cute. You're the perfect couple!". Which is totally sweet, but not accurate, of course. We're just humans. And we love each other, and I hope we're together forever, but what if we aren't?

    I do worry about perceptions. Plus, of course my parents think this is "just a phase" so I'm determined to prove them wrong too. Instead of, you know, just living my life. #rosieodonnell

    Anyone else want NOW to STFU about the David Letterman stuff? Nothing has been proven yet, except that Letterman likes to have sex with young women. Equating that automatically with a "toxic work environment" strips these women of any agency--or any possibility they wanted to sleep with him. After all, no one has said he raped them and none have come forward to stay he sexually harassed them. I think Dave is a dirty dog, but hell, there are PLENTY of those in this world. #rosieodonnell

    @quickqueenof: Sometimes I don't understand NOW. It seems like they often pick and choose smaller, specific situations and make an example out of them. This is fine by me if they use the situation to expose a problem to which a good deal of people are unaware, but if it distracts the public from much larger issues, I find fault. Somehow "TV personality has intercourse with younger colleagues" doesn't outweigh abortion rights, violence against women, constitutional equality, promoting diversity, gay rights, and economic justice. #rosieodonnell

    How insightful, Michael Bubbly.

    I used to feel really guilty for praying for really big boobs when I was 11, and then getting them only to renounce my religious upbringing a year later.

    God bless the Catholic church. I should've prayed for height (I'm 4'11). #rosieodonnell

    I feel really bad for those kids though, if it is true about her taking the biological one with her. That has to do serious damage on the psyche of the other three.

    @ihateyourescalade: I hear you. It upsets me because there is so much more at stake. With the culture war still raging, gay rights have been dealt an awful lot of blows in the last 8 years, and marriage has become the symbol for equality on a truly profound level. As a heterosexual, I take marriage for granted. I can get married whenever I feel like it and if it doesn't work out, well, then I can get a divorce and do it all over again. But for my gay friends and cousin? No. For them, and for all of us who support them, marriage is so much more and thus, when it fails, it *does* bum me out because it feels like another set back. Sorry for the rambling; I get really emotional over this stuff and really agree with your sentiment. #rosieodonnell

    @ihateyourescalade: I hear ya (but I'd also include the menfolk). I think it's just frustrating because we know that we shouldn't hold same-sex couples to a different standard than their hetero counterparts, but when society is already so, we feel the need to prove that their somehow better (only to prove that they should be considered equal).

    I don't know if that made sense. The whole topic enrages me so it's often difficult to express myself (and my anger) clearly when it comes to same-sex marriage. #rosieodonnell
