Today is Rosie O’Donnell’s birthday, and I want to wish her all the best. Always outspoken, often controversial, she is nevertheless a champion of LGBT families and children in general, and one of the most visible lesbian moms in the U.S. Love her or hate her, she’s one of us.
I can’t condone everything she’s ever said or done, but I can recognize the good. Here’s a link to her For All Kids Foundation, dedicated to “[helping] young, at-risk, underserved children and their families out of poverty.” It would be nice if the media focused a little more attention on this rather than her feud with Donald Trump.
