Queen Latifah Says She Did Not Come Out During Pride Concert
Queen Latifah denies speculation she came out during a May 19 concert at Long Beach Pride and says she will never discuss her personal life in public, during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
While performing at the Southern California city’s pride festival, Latifah referred to the enthusiastic crowd as “her people,” which some websites interpreted as the talented 42-year-old entertainer coming out as lesbian. “That definitely wasn’t the case,” she says. “I’ve never dealt with the question of my personal life in public. It’s just not gonna happen.”
How about everyone minds their own damn business and respects people’s privacy?
