Niles Crane of Broadway works for me.

Mr. Signorile seems late to the O'Donnell defense table (her bashing seems sooooo early-to-mid Autumn of 2003, and here were are embracing white and wonderful winter, with a snazzy orange alert to set it off so FABULOUSLY!) -- sorta a gay Johnie Cochran stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on the 405. But we'll take it.

Could he mean Michael "Missy Misbehavior" Reidel?

What other faboo drag names can we come up with for The Niles Crane of Broadway?

I'll toss out Princess Piddlepuddle!

What a terrific article. He's come around. So has she. See link:

A tidbit:

"Now Rosie’s gone from the "queen of nice" who never talked about her Sapphic desires, to a crusader for gay adoption, a promoter of same-sex marriage and the producer of Taboo, the queerest play to hit Broadway in years. Along the way, she’s been brutally attacked (almost as harshly as Taboo has been ripped apart by the critics) and ridiculed for shedding her former sweetness for the role of loudmouth dyke. Some of the nastiest barbs, particularly about her "bitch" demeanor, have come from gay male writers and theater critics (some of them circumspect about their own sexuality), thereby furthering the worst stereotypes about gay men as mincing misogynists."
