Queen Latifah Did Not Come Out At Long Beach Pride
And no, she didn't come out in that picture by making the scissor sign. Keep waiting (or don't), bitches.
When Queen Latifah performed at Long Beach Pride and told the audience that she's happy to be with "her people," many hos, including this one, thought that was her subtle way of letting us know that she gets the mustache on the regular if you know what I mean. But Queef Latifah tells Entertainment Weekly that she hasn't given up her space in the closet and whose crotch she puts her lips on at the end of the night is in her personal file and you'll never have the password for it. Queen said that when she called the audience "her people" she meant that they were all there together to fight against hatred and bullies. You know, some U.N.I.T.Y. shit.
On the news that she came out at Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride: “That definitely wasn’t the case. I’ve never dealt with the question of my personal life in public. It’s just not gonna happen.”
On going to a gay club with Tupac: “To me, doing a gay pride show is one of the most fun things. My first show that paid more than $10,000 was in a gay club on New Year’s Eve in San Francisco. Tupac happened to be in town, so he came to kick it with me. This was the early ’90s. And the boys were like, ‘Take your shirt off, Tupac!’ He wasn’t doing that. But we had a blast in there.”
On what she meant by calling the audience "her people": “I know that the most important thing and the only thing I have to give is love. When people are going through hatred and bullying, the biggest thing to fight that is love. So that’s all I encouraged my audience to do that night: to share their light and share their love. Period.”
Okay, so she's basically just Richard Simmons-ing it. Queen knows that we know that she wrestles clitty with her tongue. I guess it's not her time to fully come out yet, but does she know that when she officially comes out she gets a 3-pack of Hanes white tank tops, a gift certificate to IKEA and a screener for the new season of The Real L Word? Because that could be a dealmaker.

Anyone who follows gossip/tabloids/celebrity photos in any way shape or form had this as a "DUH" years ago.
Those who don't and really don't care...well gee, They don't care. It won't interrupt their day of watching the kids/going to work/paying the bills and simply existing.
It's her business. She doesn't want to share, she doesn't have to share.
Dana's been flossing for pubes for years. IDC...I like her and I bet she has some storriiieees to tell. She is an okay rapper and didn't she win the Oscar for Chicago? I know she was nominated...right?

Leave her alone, what is this? Bullying people into saying they are gay? If she says she is not gay, then it means she is not gay, period.This kind of pressure on Queen to force her to admit to being gay amounts to harassment. Enough, leave her alone.

I got the Foxxies confused.

Honestly, I can't believe people are having spats over this? Really? REALLY?
I think bisexuals are hated more than gays by both gays and straights...

no. she said it was her show, he happened to be in town and showed up to hang out with her, and it seems he was firm that he did not want to take off his shirt.

edited for spelling and to add 'battle
*giggles*
Yes, because there is no such thing as a homosexual homophobe... /sarcasm

And why is the black community more responsible for not being homophobic? Just because they were discriminated against, they should be more understanding? Harumph. We could say that for any group because most Americans have been discriminated against at some point. Early white Americans who did not have claim to whiteness were discriminated against and they turned around and did the same. The U.S. had a pattern of enlisting black Americans in war to fight for freedom in a land that discriminated against them. And there are gay men who blindly, no willingly, engage in patriarchy, leaving their Sapphic sisters behind. And cutting across class lines, what about the wite and non-white women who exploit their help, also women who have their own children to raise? So to hold a group higher to some moral ground than another is unfair, wishful thinking at best.
And besides, who at this point does not know that Queen Latifah is a big old lezzy. Please. Oh, let me burst one more bubble to you: Tom Cruise is probably pretty familiar with the peen. One more soul crushing secret revealed: John Travolta is also probably familiar with the skin flute.

So...Tupac Shakur, who stated that a white man marrying a black woman was "disgusting", who didn't believe in mixing races at all, who made multiple songs about killing white people, and who Suge Knight claimed was a rabid homophobe, was gay?
Why is it though, as long as he was one of the "repressed masses" his beliefs that subjugate others are then okay?
(Of course I will have to explain for the other assholes here that you didn't say it was okay, and that I am just starting a conversation on the subject. Okay assholes?)

No, not at all. I totally believe in privacy and that's all I saw you saying.
I don't do Facebook anymore but the last time I did I accepted friend requests only from people I actually knew. Well, a person requested to be a friend and he mentioned that he is a customer. I couldn't place him but I felt I should accept the request. Well, it turns out he is gay which I didn't know (having no idea who he is helped with that)and he has gay friends on Facebook. So the next thing I know this guy who is his friend wants to be my friend. *sigh* I sort of knew this other person. I had seen him before but we had never spoken. So I accept. The next thing I know this guy is hassling me about wanting to come over and meet me, supposedly because he wants me to come to his meetings, because he's a gay activist. omg, I could not get rid of this guy. He was too young for me and he was dating someone younger then himself and writing about it on Facebook. Telling how old his boyfriend is and that they haven't done it yet, and they shared a kiss and it was sweet and etcetcetc. TMI. This also made his desire to come over kind of confusing. Honestly I think he's one of those guys that thinks all gay men are attracted to all other gay men, or that if they aren't it doesn't really matter because they should still have sex at least once, being they are both gay and all.
It was awkward because he was pressuring me to come over and I had to wonder if he just wanted to have me join his club or if he wanted me to be a VIP member, and it's difficult to let someone know you are not interested before they actually indicate that they are.
I'd see this guy in the paper and he was always yelling in someone's face, and they probably deserved it, but as a self-appointed guardian of the gay community here, he had a lot to learn about diplomacy.
If I were actually trying to change people's minds I think I'd want to come across as friendly and relaxed. He was always either angry about bigots or sad because no one wanted to have sex. He would write about his dates, like I said. I sent him a message once and said if he needed to talk to someone instead of exposing his rejected feelings in public I would talk to him, but I was dumb and missing the point. He LOVED putting it all out in public. He wanted to be confrontational. Imagine being his facebook friend and reading about your date with him. Yikes.
what am I saying? haha Ummmm, I think my point is that everyone should relax and not see sexuality as the defining factor. If gay people feel they have something in common because they are gay, that's cool. It can be really helpful when you are young to know you aren't alone. But it's also sort of naive. Sexuality is important but to think that a group of people are alike because they are all gay is kind of superficial, almost.
It is nice when people that are "normal" as well as those that are kind of freaky choose to come out and provide an example for young people and everyone but they shouldn't be forced to, or criticized if they do.
I agree with you that it really shouldn't matter. It's probably not exactly fair or random that they put this on Queen Latifah, either. They want to make a self-assured woman into some kind of freak. It's why they call Madonna a whore.
But supposedly there are a number of gay male rappers and the only one you hear about is Cazwell.

(Cazwell doing "I saw Beyonce at Burger King")
Whatever Queen Latifah decides is cool with me. I just think that once it becomes an issue the privacy is sort of gone anyway. I can see never wanting to give them the satisfaction after being stalked and hounded for "proof" but also, performing at gay rights shows and calling gay people "my people" and then trying to "spin her own words" as someone said, is beyond that point where it's private and no one's business. Still I think she said "my people" in sincerity, and not as a way to promote herself and grab "gay dollars" so whatever. I've said a lot of things I am glad I didn't have to explain later. haha

Well, Leonardo diCrapio is damn private about the swimsuit models that he dates, isn't he? So is George Clooney, Matt Dillon and others. Does it mean they're embarrased because they don't talk to the press about their girlfriends?
******************
I don't think DiCrapio, Clooney, and others act as though their girlfriends are simply their trainers or part of their staff. They also take them to events. They aren't hiding them.
Big difference between not commenting on your love life and denying their existence.
Did she out Tupac?
So basically she outed herself as a gay sympathizer. 42, never married and assumed to be gay, I guess it's just not her time yet.

I don't think Queen Latifah is gay. She just doesn't blab about her sex life so people assume. Leave her alone.
Oh dave, FB can be scary. Not surprised this guy thought he could push his agenda on you but wanting to go to your place? Uh, no thanks? Then being angry? Even better! What was his deal? Unfriend! And the other one even worse with the TMI. Sheesh why can't they keep somethings to themselves, the world does not have to hear that stuff! Is there a way to drop someone without notifying them? So they can't harrass you? Would be uselful.
Yeah, on Latifah, she's successful, and many people like her. Hope she figures it out.

Dayum it's getting heated up in HERRR!
Not going to pontificate on everyone's points because I only have a few working brain cells on a Saturday night and I don't want to waste em. I'll say I'm torn on this one. On one hand, QL is out in her personal life, and obviously should not be forced out of the celebrity closet. However, all these stars staying in the closet contributes to the notion that being gay is taboo and shameful. And you could say celebs just want their privacy, but come on, most stars got their fame because they're narcissistic show offs. They're not exactly wallflowers. So all the privacy talk just makes me laugh a bit. They're just protecting their money, for the most part.

Okay, smartass, explain it to the rest of the class. Aside from marriage and the inability to share health insurance, exactly HOW are gays deprived of their rights? Ohhh, before you start with the word trivial again, I'm not trivializing those issues because they are important. But please. Enlighten me. Other than those two issues, your rights are being abrogated how?
I'm going to bed but please, feel free to get off the soapbox and tell me. I'll be happy to read it in the morning after church. Yes, the church where we have members who are all races as well as several gay people and where everyone is accepted. You and your judgments about how I'm lying is hilarious to behold. You really have no clue.
