I'm always chasing rainbows

I don't get HBO so I won't be catching All Aboard! Rosie's Family Cruise tonight. Sounds like it's a nice look at how there are all kinds of families. Maybe a few heartwarming moments thrown in for good measure. I know she has her detractors, but Rosie has done a lot of good with all that daytime talk money. I don't know that a show like this will change minds, but it's worth the effort, isn't it? Here are a few takes on the show:
  • After watching this sweet and often moving HBO documentary from filmmaker Shari Cookson, I've got just one question: where do I put in to have a gay couple raise my kids? Ray Richmond for The Hollywood Reporter
  • Tolstoy said, "All happy families resemble one another." All Aboard!, a touching, sometimes amusing special about a Rosie O'Donnell-sponsored gay family cruise, which dares to posit that families led by two gay parents operate pretty much like most other families. How sad such a simple, obvious position will be enough to stir up hatred in some quarters. Robert Bianco for USA Today
That poster is just OVER THE TOP. Great, isn't it?

Freakgirl, that's the funniest rainbow comment ever. Also would make an excellent pickup line in any gay bar.
