Queen Latifah: I Didn’t Come Out Of The Closet At Gay Pride Parade

Everyone knows Queen Laitfah and Raven Symone are GAY! They need to live in the truth!

So what if she is a lesbian! Does that make her any less of a person? No she is beautiful and talented! Her personal life is just that personal!

She, as a human being, has the right to keep her pesonal like private, even if she is a public figure.

It's their choice, but it's always great when prominent people come out. It creates more space for others to be who they are.

who care's, I don't.

Who really cares.

Who really cares.

I know for a fact she is a lesbian.
she has a ''wife" and a 'Mistress" that travels with her. I guess she doesn't really hide it but doesn't flaunt it. whatever she wants to do its her life. she may feel she would loose movie rolls. either way she doesn't have to admit it. but she isn't denying it and she sure as hell is a supporter of equal rights. so more power to the Queen!

It is their choice, and no one should attempt to make it for them. However, in Queen Latifa's case, I don't think coming out would hurt her career one bit. She has nothing to loose at this point, in my view.

it's no one's business but her's – whether she is or not won't pay her bills – besides what goes on in her bedroom might.
be better then what goes on in yours – so I say before thowing stones check you own actions.

Just because you are fan of someone's talent does not give you a free pass to their personal life.If she is gay that is nobody's business but hers & her partner's.

What's the big deal? Why is there a need for celebrity gays to "Officially" declare their sexuality? I mean really! Her "closet door" is wide open. so are the closets of many others.

Sure are a lot of lezbos in the black community. Guess that's cause their men are so worthless. Don't worry though, black men. There's plenty of white women stupid enough to date you.

It's her business! Not the media's or the publics. I love her any way, to me she is a icon. Her personal life is hers. You go Miss Thang!

The Queen's a bad ass and it's awesome she doesn't cave to the public. I have plenty of friends that do those marches but they're far from gay. What they are is empathetic with someone who's scorned for something purely subjective.

“I don’t have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life" I think this says it all.

If your stupid arse didn't care, whay are you on the forum?.You're a NOBODY and a Hypocrit…

It's about coming OUT of the closet NOT out of your mama's basement…..

Wow that is a really ignorant statement.

I don't have to "come out" as straight. Why should they have to declare their sexuality?

Who cares what goes on in her bedroom. People need to get past the personal lives of entertainers. they're no different than the rest of us out here. Just enjoy their work and move on.

People are people, just love them respect them and and accept them for who they are…

If ignorance is bliss, then you must be orgasmic.

Quenn Latifah is in the limelight, but people forgettr this she is a person with a life of her only. And she is or not gay the is her business. She is a very good person in my eyes. So as long as she keep doing what she do she alright with me. A very good fan in Michigan.

I thought I had read a story about her gifting her partner with a 25.000.00 ring about 6 months ago. she is already out of the closet. she really came out back in the day in the movie, SET IT OFF. doesn't matter to me, she is not sexing me so what I care?

Others sexual orientation is none of my business. More power to you for not identifying yourself as gay or straight but only as yourself.

I think it is important that they are comfortable and happy in their lives. Their lives being the major words here.

heydroogie go troll some where else!

I hope she's not, but even she was who are we to judge her or anyone?

It amazes me how there are always some idiot making a race issue of everything. Stop being so ignorant.

It's nobody's business and makes no difference as far as I am concerned. Talent is talent and people are people. What they do in their private life is nobody's business.

Damn, how many cliched phrases can you put in one comment? You didn't say anything original lol!!

Sarah how do you know she has a wife and mistress? Do you know her outside of what the blogs say? Rumors ruin peoples lives, especially when you are assuming and not knowing.

Good for You Queen. Fuck 'em all.

She pulled a nunaadambusiness.

fo sure!

Mind your business and not the Queens. She do not need to address her sexuality to please anyone. Plus why does it matter who she sleep with, let her personal life remain that private.

She has a lot of class. It is not anyones business except hers. We don't need to know every little detail.

it doesn't matter if your gblt love is love but make sure u be careful n ask your self does god want that? all I'm sayin is watch who u go out with n relationship is serious.

Only way you could know for a fact, is if you had slept with her yourself, or this "wife or mistress" you speak of is your mother. Stop spreading rumors about people if you don't know FOR A FACT!

She is an actor, and actors "ACT!" Seit it Off is not proof tat she is a Lesbian. Get real folks!

I want to know where King Latifah is.

You don't know anything for a fact. Stop lying.

Wait. Am I agreeing with you?

I like her I don't care what her preference is! And it is her business!

EXACTLY!!! Look at Neil Patrick Harris. Everyone knows he's gay, and yet almost every character he plays is straight. He's married to a woman in the movie "The Smurfs", and his most recent role of Barney on the show "How I Met Your Mother" is a womanizer. Lots of gay actors play straight people, and lots of straight actors play gay people.

this bitch said she has a wife & mistress with her lol not to be rude yall white folks dnt knw wtf yall be talkin about SHUT UP for once!!

I really don't care about her sexuality because she's awesome! It's none of our business who she gets down with, so I don't see why there is a problem. I admire her for wanting to keep her personal life private. I would be the same way.

Not a news worthy subject.. who cares anyway?

I agree with Cindy Ray, no one is obligated to come out, and NO ONE has the right to OUT someone, however the more we are out there, in every walk of life, the easier it gets for those who come after us. When we are the teacher, doctor, mailperson, store clerk, etc… we become less frightening and less sensational. I appreciate when someone prominent comes out, I also appreciate their right to privacy. I am very "out" have been for years, but it is not an easy path and comes with lots of consequences.

Is she saying that God hates gays and lesbians, because He's the one who says that it is wrong. As a Christian I believe the Bible therefore I believe homosexuality is wrong, but I don't hate Gays and Lesbians. I would pray that they turn from it, just as I would pray for anyone who has sin in their life. God hates my sins whatever they may be just as much as he hates the sin of homosexuality. But I know He doesn't hate me.

Its nobody's business!

I want to know about your sexual habits and please spare no details feel free to be violent and explicit when describing your sexual acts and performances… Thank you kindly Sarah…

If they don't want to say, they are sure gay, why would it be an issue any other way…..

no, I don't think they should declare their sexuality! it doesn't change their talent. it doesn't change their personality. it doesn't change anything about them. as far as I'm concerned, what happens behind closed doors is just that, behind closed doors and people's sexuality isn't anyone's business but theirs and if people believe it's a sin, then it's between them and God.

exactly Paulie! Why are people so hung up on this?

True story: In about 2002, I met Queen Latifah, and she was obnoxious and completely rude for no reason whatsoever. Me, my two brothers, their two girlfriends and 2 of my very young neices were walking into the lobby of the Hollywood Hilton when I recognized Queen Latifah walking out through the front doors. I said "Hey! Look! Queen Latifah! What's up Queen!" Her reply? Only a dismissive "Pssh" as she continued past us. No one rushed her or hassled her, we were just saying hello and acknowleding her as fans. I will never forget that, and I lost all respect I had for her that day. So much for U.N.I.T.Y…

Stop spreading rumors about people if you don't know FOR A FACT! my roomate's ex-wife makes $79/hr on the laptop. She has been out of a job for 9 months but last month her pay was $8641 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Go to this web site CashLazy.*com

you guys say it like its a defense or something. i dont care idf she is gay or not. and the truth is she is in a commited homosexual relationship/marriage.

so what? it's her busy-ness, not ours.

I love the Queen…she was a lil' rough starting out and has blossomed into a megastar…u go girl!

That's what I say, Kathy. So what if she is anyway. It's her life.

What Sarah stated is true. At least about Latifah always traveling around with exotic-looking and gorgeous women. When I used to write for the Source Magazine back in the 90s, we always saw Latifah at events with women, no men, no boyfriend. When you're straight, eventually people see you with a spouse or sex partner or at a strip club. Unless you're a hermit or nun, there's no way you're going without companionship. Or getting off someway. We are sexual creatures. But when you never see someone hugged up or with someone of the opposite sex, and you see them always in the face of some fine, gorgeous person of the same sex, doubts arise. During the filming of her movie with Common and with other men, Latifah always appears awkward in heterosexual love scenes., But during Set It Off, she seemed right at home with the lesbian character she played. This can be left to speculation, but the obvious is the obvious. Bottom line, though, who cares. People will embrace her the same as they do Wanda Sykes or Ricky Martin. You love a person for their nature, not their sexual preference. I respect her as an artist and as a person who wishes to keep her business her business.

How rude of you to put her personal business on here after she declined to do so herself. It's not your place to talk about that. You obviously are a person who likes to kiss and then tell the whole world, but most of us grown ups like our privacy. You need to learn about respect and you need to think before you post hurtful and personal information about anyone other than yourself. Now those are facts!!!

I read a few years back that after lala ali divorced her husband that they were dating then I read the article that said that they were no longer a couple…but y does it matter if that's wat she chooses that's on her.. but I still think queen is sexy as hell.

yes

I don't see what the big deal is…Every knows she's GAY…That is not a secret.

everyone knows she's Gay!

Nobody's business but hers.

What they do in their personal life is their own.

doesn't matter if she is or not shes still a very good looking woman, id go on a date with her anytime.

This kind of pseudo "journalism" irritates me so much! That last line assumes that she has a closet to come out of. The entire article is about her refusal to answer the question if she is gay or straight, so why on earth would you assume? Idiots!

why is it that the public in general seems to feel that just because a person is famous, that they (the public) is somehow entitled to know things about the famous that is just none of their business? Even a person who is famous has the right to privacy!

It's her business. I could care less! She's a good actress.

I agree with you completely.

I agree with you completely.

Wow Stephen you call yourself a producer. but you went into lengths to almost write a book about someone else's business. I will definitely keep a look out for you, you are not to be trusted and someone I will never work with. A producer is a person of confidentiality and a person who is suppose to be trusted. You're saying her business is her business but look back at what you have written seems very much like contradictory…

They don't have to come out at all…but why do all of that commenting on the topic and answering the questions if their personal life is personal…Just simply tell the interviewer that you discuss your personal relationships in the public…Saying " I'm not saying I'm gay or I'm not saying I'm straight" is like feeding the rumors…They should just put an end to it all and say " I don't discuss my personal intimate life with the media or public…case closed"…IMO.

Her sexuality is irrelevant to her career. And not just gay people perform for gay audiences. Straight people have gay followings too. She can be in the public eye but still keep her personal life separate.

You actualy spoke?! Outloud?! lol. jk cuz

You actualy spoke?! Outloud?! lol. jk cuz

It is no one's business about another person's sexuality, celebrity or unknown. Their business only!

Ha ha Look at this ->http://youtu.be/dF0OURla2aw.

She's BEEN GAY SINCE "THE MOVIE SET IT OFF!"! There is no big deal about her being a lesbian but when you choose to hide your sexuality because of endorsement deals and money you need to say your ass in the closet! That says a lot about your character. We the people are the one's that are being played and maid a fool of because it only matter to us. I personally don't care if she's in the closet out the closet somebody tell me what guy has she ever dated! Where is her gay pride at!

it just helps other folks who are struggling with it who may not have big fame to fall back on when they get critizied.

Anyone who is disappointed by not knowing someones sexuality, celebrity or not, is a goon.

Her personal life is her own business. She has every right to keep it private. (she's gay! shhhh!) ♥ The Queen #QueerPower.

straight is the default sexuality. nobody has to come out as straight b/c it is assumed u are hetero until you tell us/show us otherwise.

Who cares?

I would prefer it if everyone kept their personal lives personal. it's none of my business either way, and when you openly discuss it, you're opening yourself up to others judgments.

She is one awesome lady

people get real,she bumping coochies.celebs make me laugh with that its my personal life.what u fell to understand is when become a celeb you become a public brand so your life is a open book.and furthermore if you got love for the gays then you should be proud to say u are gay.yes the public has a right to know who they are supporting.its not my job to judge but i wont support someone whos fake.

well because we pay their salaries.when you become a celeb you become a brand.i'm pretty sure her mother did not give her that name she was branded.

I have been reading these post and now I know why our children r so confused, if you people had any sense you would take a interest on these celebs personal lives, you let you kids watch them and you wonder why lil timmy is now tammy.lol yall lost.you wonder why kids have no respect for each other or their parents.stop blaming everything else, and look in the mirror.wow.

She BEEN gay since "Set if Off"

I thought she alreaady came out, all day gay and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that if that's her choice. Come on Queen go ahead and put it to bed so people can stop making a big deal out of it.

my best friend's mother made $17928 the previous month. she has been working on the computer and bought a $390100 house. All she did was get lucky and follow the advice exposed on this site.

Funny when I saw the Social Cam thing I thought, "Who cares?" Why would that be a big deal today????

Nobody gives a $hit if she comes out or not! We all know she's Gay and Fabulous!

If she came out the gay community's reply would be "we've been expecting you" followed by a maniacal laugh.

We already know she's gay…she has a partner I dont think she'll ever "come out" because that's what everybody expects her to do.

No it's their business, but I do really admire people who do because it can help young people who are going through a tough time.

So, I guess it doesn't matter that we have film of you eating pussy and enjoying the symbiotic ride, both on record and in private that displays your sexual preference. You once had admiration for being real. Now, it seems, you are just part of the show.

That's right! So now if we can just get them to live their lives and shut the f@$k about it we'll be all set.

Her life, her business.

WHO THE HELL CARES—-tell the devil when you get there–well folks you blew it again.—DAMN, that closet must be big–how many are in there anyway-they must be having fun while waiting to get out—so why not go back in if it so bad and you cannot keep your mouth shut—–MOUTH SHUT —–GET IT–HHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Ankh What you wrote doesn't make a lick of sense.

Rosa, yes, she is probably a lesbian. Yes it's her business, and she doesn't have to come out. But Ruby and Taurica were making the point that you can't interpret someone playing a gay or lesbian role in a movie as "coming out". And they were being defensive. They were trying to defend common sense against ignorance.

It looks like you and everyone else already "put it to bed" so why does she have to?

there is this strong need to know if celebrities are straight or gay, honestly I don't care but when they say certain "lines", sorry that's pretty much a "yes" and when was the last time you saw her on the red carpet with a man? actions louder than words.

lady, why the personal attack on me calling me ignorant? i have the right to my point of view. because you dont agree with me does not make me ignorant. what does that make you to get so heated about something so trivial? are you a closet queer?

Gloria, just saw what you wrote and I could not agree more. It's no one's business. Troy

it's a private matter and should remain so. I also don't think people should be 'outed' either. minejabizniss.

I think that Queen Latifah and anyone else who is in the closet (if indeed she is), shouuld stay there until they are ready to disclose thier sexual orientation. Until then, people should mind their business. They should mind their business afterwards, as well.

I still love her gay or nt jacqueline bradley
