I Loooove her. And damnit! The woman's right, it's her life, she'll live it any which way she pleases and there's no need to answer to answer anyone.
And even though it would be cool, it's not on her shoulders to get the community thinking, people should think for their own darn selves.

I agree she doesn't owe anything to anyone. ...

I agree she doesn't owe anything to anyone.

That being said, she has the ear of so many communities, if she is gay, isn't this a great opportunity to step forward and get people thinking.

Either way, it doesn't change much in my life....

Either way, it doesn't change much in my life. Unless of course I meet her someday and I marry her because how cool would that be? Okay, random. But she's right, she doesn't have to explain anything to anyone and I wish more people could think that way, not only about themselves, but others.

I didn't know either Queen Latifa or the guy from M*A*S*H was ever in the closet, of course I never even thought about it. When/if Brett Michaels from Poisen comes out of the closet, then I will be surprised.

I thought she'd been out for a long time. The MASH fellow, too. I can't keep up with who's in and who's out anymore and just hope I live to see the day when nobody freakin' gives a damn anymore. Meanwhile, we have a burger chain here in California called In'n'Out. I wonder if they're looking for a spokesperson... Queen?

Sigh. Poor Anderson Cooper taking another shot from you about being in the closet.

I'd hop the fence for Queen L. I love her. Dynamic, talented and completely right. She doesnt have to explain. Anything to anybody. What she does on her time off is no one business other than hers. Being straight, gay or bi doesnt change who she is.

If she is , she will let us know in her own time. ...

If she is , she will let us know in her own time. Like when we came out, it tooks us some time as well. Look how long it took Ricky Martin. We all knew, nut took him some time to let us in.

She seems to be saying almost "too much." I don't know. Something bugs me about her comments. When people respond in that way, it just seems they are protesting too much. It's that age old struggle.

it doesn't affect my opinion about her as a talent whether she is or isn't gay. but if she is, i would applaud her for coming out because when any kind of celebrity (actor, sports figure, politiician) comes out, i feel like it helps other gays feel more comfortable in their own skin. and it leads to more acceptance and less ugly intolerance.

2010-06-22T07:07:46.485-06:00

I don't think she came out.
You come out by saying, "I'm gay."
You don't come out by spouting insignificant nothings about knowing who you are...and not confirming....or explaining.
She isn't out.
She's a closeted homophobe. And I think she could do wonders for lots of African-American girls who are gay and afraid to come out. think of the role model she could be if she just said IT instead of dancing around it.
IMO.

2010-06-22T07:02:28.158-06:00

I think she's keeping it as private as she is able. Whether or not she is or she isn't, she is established and secure enough, that she doesn't give a damn who thinks what.Go Queen L. Go!!!

Annie that's the first thing I thought of........

Yeh, it makes you wonder doesn't it? Maybe there are other factors that people don't know about... like her family may not accept it.... ummmmmm it's a toughy.
