Well goodness, this is cool! Where was I when this happened? Rosie... on a blog? Too neat~

You'll have to forgive me. When I was younger, I was not comfortable with what I was. I grew up in a very conservative house- and having feelings for other girls simply did not compute with my family. In the slightest. When Rosie came out... goodness- I remember first hearing about it... It was like a cloud had lifted. My mother and I had watched the Rosie show for years and years- and here she was... a lesbian? If someone my mother liked so much... if she could be gay- could I?

That was really the first step in allowing myself to think I had enough strength to live my life as I had always dreamed. When Rosie came out...

I wonder, sometimes, if she realizes how many lives she changed? I wonder if she realizes how many lives she made better...?

I wonder if she ever realizes how much courage she gave.
