The Gays (Still) Love the Queen

Madonna is, of course, gracing one of the covers of Out’s Ladies We Love Issue (onetime heiress apparent Britney Spears is on
the only other one).

The cool thing is the powers that be decided to put together an oh-so-cool look at the early days of the Queen of Pop that features never-before-seen photos of the icon.

Sweet!

Photographer Richard Corman remembers hanging out with M in summer ’82,
saying she “was like the Pied Piper of the neighborhood – [people] loved her. They followed her, they danced with her, they sang with her. It was something they did on a daily basis, and it was remarkable. We just walked up and they gathered around. She put the boom box on – it was her music [obviously!], though I don’t remember which song – and they just started dancing and singing.

“She was so alive and unpretentious. She was fierce, determined. Nothing was going to stop her.”

And you know what – nothing did.

Long live the Queen!
