Like Anderson c. and queen lol not everyone is gay

She has no obligation to allow anyone into her private life. Queen Latifah has the right to have some privacy, just like we all do. I can totally understand her stance, especially for someone who spends so much of her life in the public eye. People like Latifah and Anderson do a lot to support the community. I’ve also never heard/read either of them say anything destructive about the LGBT community. Shame on you, Kevin.

You’d be wrong. I’d love it if all prominent queer people came out, but I recognize that I have no moral claim on their doing so.

What type of message does it sent youth that you are calling someone a coward for not coming out of the closet… everyone has their own personal reasons and will do it when they are comfortable. Pride is about supporting the community – not ripping people apart because they do!

If Queen Latifah is gay and doesn’t want to admit it publicly, leave her the hell alone. It’s her business, not yours. She is not now, nor has she ever been responsible for another person’s ability to recognize and admit their sexuality.
