Fans seem to think that Madonna has come out as gay, but those of us who have followed her career for decades know otherwise.

In the five-second clip, a pink-haired Madonna wearing extra-large cream-colored sweatpants and a matching corset top, holds up a pair of pink underwear. On-screen text reads, “If I miss, I’m Gay!” as Madonna attempts to shoot her crumpled up underwear into a wastebasket. She misses by a long shot, before facing the lens and throwing her hand up in the air, as if to confirm what she wanted to say in cryptic fashion: She’s gay.
It would seem as though the Queen Of Pop has been dropping hints leading up to this apparent reveal. She recently said that she was “gagging to work with Britney [Spears] again,” an expression which evoked memories of that shocking on-stage kiss that the pair shared nearly 20 years ago. Madonna has even shared a notable kiss with another women as of late: She locked lips with Dominican rapper Tokischa in the video for a “Hung Up” remix that came out last month.
Madonna has been an icon for sexual expression all throughout the ’80s, ’90s, and still today. She has always supported freedom of love, no matter what a person’s gender is or isn’t. And if this video is indeed how she wants to tell the world about her sexual identity, then kudos to her.
I feel like this is a non-story. I don't believe Madonna is gay per-se, but I do believe since the Erotica era, Madonna has explored her sexuality a bit particularly with women. Plus I believe she's had relationships with Sandra Bernhard and Ingrid Caseres.
Plus she was recently spotted sucking the oxygen out of Dembow singer Tokischa's lungs at New York Fashion Week last month.
Madonna is an ally, and has always had the back of the queer community long before it became chic to do so. In fact growing up she set the blueprint for giving me the courage to be myself.
So while I feel like we should file this story in the slow news day category, I felt I needed to address this story.
