“I don’t feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don’t care if people think I’m gay or not. Assume whatever you want. You do it anyway.” – Total lesbian entertainer Queen Latifah on persistent gay rumors. [ET]

I’m probably unfairly generalizing, but I’ve always thought of lesbians as more courageous.

Good for you Latifah, a strong grasp of reality is never a bad thing to have as a celebrity.
Tim
Good for her.
afrolito
She’s a DYKE.
michael
I like her, she has sweetness in her smile and something is quite genuine about her. I believe she is a person of character and AFRO SHEEN shouldn’t you be licking Madonna’s skanky mold infested pussy right now instead of making stupid comments?
Robert
I think it doesn’t really matter one way or the other unless you want to be with her.
I like her for her music/acting/and sensible take on the business she is in.
Bottom line just because someone is famous doesn’t mean we get to know everything about them.
I feel that know too much about someones personal life/beliefs influences how I see them on screen etc. So the less I know the better.
Just my .02

i love queen latifa and i do not care if she is gay or not. it is her business and nobody elses.

She doesn’t show up to events with male dates, so she’s not faking it or lying. She’s just staying mum.
Nitesurf
There are other “rumored” to be gay celebs out there who constantly get shit for doing exactly the same thing Queen Latifa is being praised for here (keeping mum). Why the double standard?
Willie Hewes
Yeah, the Queerty comments generally aren’t nearly so generous to male “staying mum”-cases.
