Madonna has always had a close connection with the LGBTQIA+ community.love reciprocated, but later may suffer the latest video posted by the 64-year-old on Tik Tok in which seems announce your release into the world. Seems because for most media and social media users this is a provocation, yet another one that this time, however, could be dangerously close to queer bullying.

Madonna posted a video on her TikTok account of herself with pink hair, bleached eyebrows, a white corset with a conical bra and comfortable pants, holding a pair of pink panties in her hand; in front of him was a basket and put the words: “If I miss this, I’m gay.” The pop star drops her panties, but there is no metal container, and winks at the camera, improvising a pirouette. Not everyone understood the singer’s post and many condemned it. One side those who believe in coming out and applaud the courage to do so in adulthood and who pulls out an old interview with Advocate 1991, in which Madge talks about bisexuality (“I think that everyone has a bisexual nature. This is my theory. I could be wrong,” – her words).

Same GLAAD, one of the best-known non-profit organizations of LGBTQIA+ activism, has recognized its achievements by awarding it twice: once in 1991 for “raising gay awareness” and again in 2019 as an “ally for change”. Always a rainbow icon (she was the godmother of Pride in New York last June), it seems absurd that she “toyed” with something as serious as coming out. We just have to wait for its next (unpredictable) move to understand more.
