(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Back in the ealy-1990s, I will never forget the huge impact on the gay world caused by Madonna and her bi-sexual explorations. Madonna christened her new-found attraction to women in the monumental book “Sex” and in the video for “ Justify My Love .” Gay magazines were covered with images of Madonna and her “gal-pal” lesbian comedian Sandra Bernhard . They were often photographed holding hands, caressing each other in public, or kissing.  The main-stream media took a rather sanitized look at these goings-on; and relegated them to just another Madonna publicity stunt.

The singer, whose risqué, hypersexualized performances are supported by a large homosexual fan base, made the promise after being asked by a Russian-American lesbian activist to cancel her August concert in St. Petersburg in protest of the law, which was  recently instituted  by the city’s government. However, calling herself a “freedom fighter” who doesn’t “run away from adversity,” the singer has announced that she will “come to St. Petersburg to speak up for the gay community, to support the gay community and to give strength and inspiration...
