Rosie and Kelli O'Donnell created something very special two years ago when they founded R Family Vacations and organized a seven-day cruise for 1,500 lesbian moms and gay dads with kids -- plus their friends and extended families.
'All Aboard: Rosie's Family Cruise,' premiers tonight, an HBO film which documents the maiden voyage. I saw the movie, and getting throught it requires at least half a box of kleenex, if not a full one. There's something about seeing kids sticking up for their gay families that can really get to you, not to mention hearing the stories of gay men and lesbians who want little more in the world than just to be able to love their kids and be a family -- something that society doesn't always make it easy to do.
I spoke with Kelli O'Donnell this week who gave me the 411 on who showed up, what surprised her, and what she hopes America will get out of seeing the movie. Kelli, who refers to herself as the Julie McCoy of the ship, couldn't have been any nicer. Find out what she had to say here...

I think money talks and there are a lot of people who want to adopt but are held to such high standards, while some seem to slide by rules. I think there are a lot of people who would agree with me. All children need families, but why do some people go to the top of the list, no Questions asked?
