Not only follow the threads but read the posts more carefully. Once again, I feel the need to point out that no post that I have read on this board has expressed a dislike of Rosie because of the fact that she is an out lesbian. I may have missed some remarks that were made but, I haven't seen anything blatant.
It is just conjecture that the feelings toward her stem from some form of homophobia. I think it more likely that people do not like her attitude. Hey, if Ellen Degeneres was backing a show does anyone think there would be this kind of backlash toward her? Probably not because she is not known as being rude and hurtful to people. It's all about the behavior not the sexual orientation. Her attitude, however should not influence how people look at the show. It should succeed or fail on it's own.
I do not like Rosie and have always said that. My choice not to see Taboo is based on the subject matter not being of interest to me. If it turns out to be a great show, it deserves to succeed.
One last thing, if you take on multiple identities on thsi board, plaese try to be original and not use a variation of a screen name already used by an established member. if what you have to say is worth reading, you shouldn't need to trick people by doing something like that. I started reading the post thinking it was from the original DP until I realized the writing was missing a certain level of intelligence. Doing something like that just shows that your opions cannot stand on their own.
