Madonna To The LGBTQ Community: Never Give Up Hope | TODAY

[@jamesmodlin6279]

She has never been afraid to say these are my friends and I love them. This was well before it was fashionable to embrace the gays. She and Elizabeth Taylor were throwing millions of dollars towards AIDS research in the beginning, when most people couldn't even say the word AIDS without flinching. This renaissance Woman is a hero, a Misfit, and a Lady.

[@alexanderpacheco7428]

This is why I love her. She has so much love and compassion for the LGBTQ universe. We love you Madonna

[@miracraigfan1738]

Yes, I’m not a fan (I also use the term inspirational/admire/appreciate someones art, bc of «fanbehavior» & putting celebs on a pedestal, which I think is terrible) My point is, snyone that has watched at least some of her entertainment or interviews, knows she was one of the first maknstream celebs that supported & was inspired by LGBTQ+ culture & finding female sexuality empowering! I don’t like too much of her music (Get into the groove is a bop) & I don’t have the best impression of her as a person & she isn’t the most talented performer, HOWEVER what she has done for lgbtq+, female sexuality, generations of female & male entertainers/artists, no one can take away from her!! Also me saying she isn’t that talented dosen’t mean she isn’t a good entertainer, otherwise she wouldn’t survive this long in the industry or have an icon status (even tho I hate the pedestal, queen, king , princess, legend status). I hope ur fine, during the pandemic & all, wish you the best :)

[@TheSingingBoy1234]

Organic Love your comment rides on the premise that all publicity is good publicity - which I fundamentally disagree with. Many people’s careers have been dismantled by negative press. Given that, during the 80s supporting or being part of the LGBTQ+ community was looked down upon and regarded as taboo. Thus, Madonna’s decision to support the community, even when it was very unpopular to do so, was obviously done to support human rights. The publicity received as a result was an afterthought, but was also used to help advance the cause even more. Next time you make a comment calling people sheep, make sure you’re not the (ignorant) sheep yourself (: much love

@Organic Love Madonna has done a lot for publicity, that is true, but it is a fact that she was entrenched in the LGBT community even before she was famous. She was definitely a real part of the community even before she became famous. Her dance teacher, Christopher Flynn was one of her biggest influences and that part of her life predates her fame.

[@donaldjones6454]

There are no words to describe her influence in so many areas. As a long time fan I am still discovering new things every day. She leads the pack, but she is still so far ahead of them that no one performing today will ever catch up. No disrespect to anyone, but her chart statistics are going to live through the current crop of those influenced by her. Her charitable work is rarely ever discussed and is not widely known, but it is massive. Why do so many wait until we lose the Michael Jackson’s, George Michaels, Whitney Houston’s and Prince’s to appreciate their work? We still have this legendary, iconic artist releasing new music more regularly than any of the aforementioned artists and people are telling her she’s too old and needs to stop. Older viable artists should give us all hope for ourselves as we all get older that we too have something to strive for and look forward to. Madame XOXOXO

[@IndianaRose.]

Everyone of these stars who has had one successful album after another is part of the kabal music msm system based on sexualising everyone and selling it as 'freedom'; subverting family bonds and values which the atheistic industry abhorrs. Bowie, Prince, Dylan etc have been given fame , success and excessive promotion of their work and some of it was very very groundbreaking and meaningful at times. Were they happy? Doesn't matter now. No more. We will protect our children from suicide and self mutilation

[@allieelectra23]

@@IndianaRose. No sweetie. You've just watched way too many KZbin videos made in the basements of crazy people. LET'S JUST BE REAL WITH EACH OTHER.

[@IndianaRose.]

Heather dear, I can discern for myself. You do not argue a point, you dismiss the information, and ignore the view I now have, after years of observation and interest. Np Many ,many others who have witnessed a tremendous amount of lies and manipulation by these shills in the last 30 years can see the destruction of the family that their forced 'globalist' propaganda slowly instilled. These over sexualised 'artists' do not offer any stability or love , simply anger, vulgarity and child abuse in favour of temporary hedonism which leads to suicide - mental or physical. This person had her day , sung some beautifully meaningful songs and embarrasses her older self quite often. Sadly , wiser people have been silenced in favour of the kabbal cage, but it is not working anymore I want more for my family. I want real values not subversion for attention.

[@marklulrich]

When she gave a large portion of her concert earnings , I knew she unconditionally cared. When NO ONE cared other than our own community. She and Elizabeth Taylor were always our heroes. I’m one of the few alive , we are the same age, 60 , we looked and searched for someone who not only cared but showed it unabashedly. I believe Madonna s unconditional care for the underdog , the lgbtq community and anyone and everyone comes from the loss of her mom. Her compassion comes from her moms spirit and I for one will always adore her. Always. She lives a great life and omg, the music was and still is always sooooooo good.

[@patriciagarcia4327]

I think it took her a while to realize that she can approach things in a different way not the way that she went about it

[@shayekisitu]

Her eyes are so beautiful. Very striking. You can tell this is very heartfelt and emotional and genuine. She has become very soft spoken here and it says much to the love she has in her heart for the underdog and those who suffer. Wonderful Madonna. 🌹🕊🌺💋❤️

I watched many LGBTQ documentries to understand how much she has inspired and helped and paved the way for LGBTQ community, this generation dosent understand her struggle and work. We should be greatful fir such icon....... I recommend to watch "pose fx" series to understand about the history of LGBTQ community

Thank you so much from the UK 🏳️‍🌈

[@mrpprivero]

I will love you forever Madonna.

[@dmc1978]

I like seeing her this way. She seems real, for once not performing but just having an honest and straightforward conversation. I rarely like the Madonna who comes through in interviews, but this one makes me think she may have come a long way and evolved a lot compared with the bratty, passive-aggressive type of person she often has suggested she is during media interviews. Good for her.

I Love you Madonna, you changed my life many years ago and I will always love you for that. I´m sure the world would be a sadest place without you. Thanks for so many things you´ve done and you will do in the future. I can´t imagine a better person to recive this award.

ETERNAL INSPIRATION 😍 SHE SAVE MY LIFE

[@ja_govi]

She’s been part of my life since I was 15. I’m so grateful for all the light she has bring to me when I needed the most.

[@L-O-L-za]

She can be so pretentious and arrogant... but this was refreshing and genuine

[@mrbrownroyyal]

So much strength yet vulnerability exudes from her! (side note I wish she'd sing "Look Of Love" again...thats one of my favorite ballads by her).

[@victorpassa]

[@kikonyc68]

I am so so lucky to have Madonna in my life. After all these years of ups and downs, after all these pop idols came and went, she is still here for us. Thank you, Madonna.

[@suldusk444]

Beautiful and honest interview. She has taught me so much. She continues to fight the haters. Inspiring me always.

[@Deva7]

"You received all kinds of awards in your life". Madonna thinking: "So where's my freakin' Oscar?"

[@ShizelMaNizel]

I’ve always quite liked Madonna, but I do accept people’s issue with her at times regarding her attitude etc.. but no one can deny the truth of this interview and how genuine those words are. This had me. Big respect Madonna, big respect. 🙌🏽

[@carloslopezrosas3927]

Madonna looks tired or sick in this interview but she is very honest, which i love.

[@Eroblue11]

There are angels on earth, I consider Madonna one of them.

[@beaullahlothbrok374]

You can be assured she has no affiliation with angels only demons through her immoral lifestyle ....get real

[@estebanocano1440]

I truly think she's an Angel.

[@Eroblue11]

Beaullah Lothbrok If she is all of what you wrote then why are you watching? It’s you that’s immoral.....get real.

[@raynekimi2755]

Fallen angels.

[@janedoe2a279]

She is the devil 😈 give me a break ! Wake up. She is not your savior. Only one is our savior Jesus Christ King of Kings !!! Not this demonic dirt bag
