Following an embarrassing fall at the BRIT Awards, Madonna is doing her best to make headlines for what comes out of her mouth… as opposed where she ends up on her rear end.
The legendary singer recently lamented the rise of anti-Semitism in France and compared that nation to Nazi Germany.
She also said Kanye West is a black version of… herself.
And now The Material Girl is featured in the latest issue of Out, which hits newsstands on March 17, and she’s explaining to the magazine why she wants to date a gay man.
Kind of. Sort of. There’s just one issue…
“I didn’t feel like straight men understood me. They just wanted to have sex with me,” Madonna says of her romantic history.
“Gay men understood me, and I felt comfortable around them. There was only that one problem, which is that they didn’t want to have sex with me! So…conundrum!
“I was like, ‘How am I ever going to get a date? Maybe if I cut my hair and I lose a lot of weight, someone will mistake me for a guy and ask me out.”
In some ways, meanwhile, Madonna also wishes she were gay.
“Gay rights are way more advanced than women’s rights People are a lot more open-minded to the gay community than they are to women.
“It’s moved along for the gay community, for the African-American community, but women are still just trading on their ass. To me, the last great frontier is women…. Women are still the most marginalized group.
“You’re still categorized – you’re still either a virgin or a whore. If you’re a certain age, you’re not allowed to express your sexuality, be single, or date younger men.”
Madonna certainly knows a great deal about all three of those topics. The iconic artist has been through a lot throughout her life and her career.
Just like a certain historical figure.
“I can relate [to Joan of Arc],” she says. “Sometimes I’m getting burned at the stake metaphorically.”
