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.

agreed. imo, the reason Travolta, Cruise and some others [side eye at entire rap industry] are different and i have no problem with them being put on blast is that they put up elaborate lies to hide their true identity, plus they're abusing people (abusing people to get sex, and abusing people who tell the truth about the sex they have). Dana has never done that -- leave her alone
also join you in not understanding why there's so much tmi about people's sex lives

OMG, why does she still prevaricate? My sister used to work as an assistant for two very well-known showbiz lesbians, and she worked a party they threw. She was introduced to a very friendly guest who called herself "Dana," who my sister realized shortly afterward was QL (I think she was really dressed down, no makeup, etc.)
The party was women only, no men whatsoever, except the bartenders. "Dana" was with another woman and they were pretty free with the PDAs. So...
The only reason I can give for her not coming out is that the African American community remains intolerant of gay people. There's no other reason because unofficially EVERYONE KNOWS.
She's gayer than being butt-fucked by the green lantern's ring's giant energy fist.
I don't need yo see everyone's People mag coming-out story either. But I'm positive she's out in her personal life and was photographed with a girlfriend. Funny how some famous people manage to have privacy, unlike the "wahhh the papz!" folk who forget there's a whole big world outside LA.
I am...doll parts...bad skin...doll heart.

I disagree, she may not be in the closet to those who really know her. As a celebrity, she's simply chosen not to discuss it, and she doesn't owe it to anybody any way.
________________________________________________
I would agree with you if it weren't for the fact that she has these moments of seeming to want to out herself publicly and then, after the test marketing vibe goes negative, she does a clean-up interview like this EW one. There are plenty of celebs that we've discussed here that everyone "knows" about who don't dip their toes the way Queen and others do.

But you gotta understand, if she does come out, will they still buy her clothes on HSN?

The man's as gay as a picnic basket.

Amen. Or eating people. With our recent spate of zombie stories, I think it's tres important to remember this. Pretty soon we'll have teens copycatting zombies. Or, are teens actually zombies??? **looks in on two teenage boys dead asleep** Yep, they're zombies. Hopefully without the flesh-eating bit, or I'm in deep trouble.

Well, technically I think eating people without permission would be a case of face rape.
And I think teens would be zombies if it didn't require so much energy to go outside, find a face to eat, take your clothes off... it's easier to just open the fridge.

So she doesn't want to make it a cover story on People. Big fucking deal. I don't claim to know what she's into, but if it's like MK said, she knows that we know, there is no reason for her to make an announcement.
I agree. While I concede it would be a positive thing for her gay fans if she came out, it's not a negative thing for them that she's not out. But It's disgusting when tabloids/blogs keep trying to prod people out of the closet. It sends the message that the person is doing "something shameful that needs to be exposed". If I was famous I would never speak of my private life or sex life; I don't even speak of it online where I have 100% anonymity.

I don't fucking care if anyone's gay or straight - as long as you're not fucking animals or children, have at it.
Unless, of course, you're raping people. Don't do that.

Aww man, why is she backpedaling? She didn't get negative reactions from it, did she? I mostly saw "good for her!" online.

I'm here to kick ass and drink tea. And I'm all out of tea.
I'm over this shit. As a bi woman, I could give two shits who comes out and who doesn't. It's their own personal business. Now when a straight person "outs" themselves on the cover of People, it'll be news. Not this.
Let the Jodies and the Silver Foxes and the Queefs of the world have their privacy. It's nobody's business.

Didn't you mean "muffstache", MK?
And don't foget, she gets a toaster, too. It's a recruiting weekend. Or did I read the Gay Agenda memo wrong?
Submitted by LaChaylo: "However, her coming out would be such a huge thing for young women of color, especially in a world filled with famewhores like Sooki and JWOWWYOUSUCK. Being a lesbian isn't some game drunk sorority girls play to get guys' attention. Queen Latifah being true to herself to the world would, I hope, make a positive difference."
Yes.
And did she just out Tupac?

Happy Gay Pride Month, Latifah!
At this point she is making herself look foolish dipping her toe in and out of the closet.

I like Queen Latifah and I know in a perfect world her personal life shouldn't matter and is no one's business.
However, her coming out would be such a huge thing for young women of color, especially in a world filled with famewhores like Sooki and JWOWWYOUSUCK. Being a lesbian isn't some game drunk sorority girls play to get guys' attention. Queen Latifah being true to herself to the world would, I hope, make a positive difference.
Maybe I'm wrong, but just my thoughts.
Happy Gay Pride Month, Latifah!

Some celebrities simply do not want to be regarded as advocates and being forced to carry a big rainbow flag their whole lives. I think she's Jodie-Fosterizing (or rather, Silver-Foxing it) instead, which means living a happy quiet life with their lady/guy friend in the comfort and privacy of their house.
