Rosie O’Donnell
Back in 2002, comedian Rosie O’Donnell came out during stand up routine at the Ovarian Cancer Research benefit. She said, “I’m a dyke!” Later she explained her impetus for coming out. She hoped to bring light to the adoption issue gays face, since she herself adopted. Some agencies, particularly in Florida would refuse to let gay and lesbians adopt.
