Rosie O’Donnell thought girlfriend was straight

Rosie O’Donnell thought her girlfriend was a “28-year-old heterosexual girl” the moment she saw her in a Starbucks this summer. “I thought she was a 28-year-old heterosexual girl, because that’s what she looked like to me. And she’s a 40-year-old gay woman,” O’Donnell said of Michelle Rounds.

“My gaydar was way off! I think if I had known that she was gay, I wouldn’t have been brave enough to talk to her.”

Rosie recently revealed she’s in love with Michelle.“I did not expect it when I met her at Starbucks,” she said.
 
 “She didn’t look like any lesbian I’d ever me. But it’s fun and very exciting. I’m in menopause, and I’ve been having really bad hot flashes. It’s like you’re a withering rose and the petals are falling off and all of sudden you bloom again. For me, [the hormones] have made a drastic difference.”
