Advocate.com and The New York Daily News’ Rush & Molloy are reporting that Rosie O’Donnell might be taking baby steps out of the closet. A New York magazine article about celebrities and how the media often avoids reporting on the woman who is at Rosie’s side in public solicited this response from an unnamed Rosie spokeswoman: the duo “never hide away. Rosie’s sexuality has never been important to her, and it’s not going to be now. I don’t think it’s important to her public. She is what she is.” New York magazine editor Caroline Miller told the Daily News: “The fact that Rosie is gay has been written about extensively in the tabloid press, and to our knowledge she has never complained about that. The piece is not so much about Rosie as it is about journalists. It’s a reflection of how reporters censor what they know, and often what much of the public already knows, when it comes to covering gay celebrities.”
