Is Queen Latifah coming out?

[RandySF]

Is Her Majesty trying to tell us something? On an episode of VH1's "Sex and the City"-esque comedy "Single Ladies" this week, its producer Queen Latifah guest-starred as a television reporter with the romantic name Sharon Love. Wacky high jinx ensued when Love admitted on the air that she'd slept with Stacey Dash's character, Val, in college.

A little "I kissed a girl" dabbling as a comedic plot point -- preferably tied to a Very Special Guest Star -- isn't in itself revelatory. Remember when Winona Ryder showed up on "Friends" as Rachel's youthful makeout partner? Or when Alanis Morissette played spin-the-bottle with Carrie on "Sex and the City"? But Latifah's turn on "Single Ladies" seems particularly pointed. As she told TV Guide, "One drunken night something happened between them. And not to stir the rumor-mill pot, but I have no problem confronting things like that."

But the Oscar- and Emmy-nominated, Grammy- and Golden Globe-winning Miss Dana Owens has spent her long public life studiously not confronting "things like that." Though she's never made any show of dating men, she's also persistently dodged any point-blank acknowledgment of her sexuality.

3. She's never come "out", she just doesn't talk about her personal life

It's assumed she's gay, but she's right it's none of our business.

6. I think she's just not gonna talk about it....

Kinda like Ricky Martin, until he decided "Enough already."

So long as people aren't being mean to others, why not live and let live?
