I would never have noticed this story on Queen Latifah’s PDAs with her longtime “friend” except that I saw “Leave Queen Latifah Alone” stories on six different progressive/gay/feminist sites. If they’re trying not to out her, they’re doing a poor job of it.
I’ve commented on the subject of outing several different times here on my site, and my opinion hasn’t changed at all.
As long as lgbt people allow society to treat our relationships like they only have a private bedroom component and not the public, society-supported and sanctioned components that heterosexual people demand (and get!) for their relationships, we cultivate an atmosphere of dishonesty within the gay community that allows destructive forces to flourish.
