It’s long been rumored in the entertainment industry that Queen Latifah might be a lesbian.

In an interview with New York Times, she declines to discuss her sexuality with the public or the media.

She said, “I don’t have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life.  You don’t get that part of me. Sorry.  We’re not discussing it in our meetings, we’re not discussing it at Cover Girl. Nobody gets that.  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,” she said.  Assume whatever you want. You do it anyway.”

Good for her.  She is a great rapper, actress and business woman, and her sexuality should not be up for discussion during interviews with journalists and the public.
