Madonna says her daughter is obsessed with gay people

From the AP via the Houston Chronicle:

The pop diva, considered by some to be an icon in the gay community, tells the magazine her 9-year-old daughter likes to guess who is gay: "Oh, and the other thing she likes to do when we go out, she says, 'Mom, do you want me to point out who the gay men are?' And I say, 'Okay, but I think I already know.'"

Wow. Is Lourdes already nine? Time flies.

Somehow, the news that Madonna's daughter is obsessed with gay people comes as absolutely no surprise. Like mother, like daughter. Madonna's been drooling over gay folk for almost as long as I can remember, putting their images in her videos and movies, including homoerotic fiction in her sterile coffee table book of "erotica," 1992's Sex, and depending on the gay community for CD sales as her musical output becomes ever more bland. For Madonna, "gay" means money and fun. Of course she's teaching her daughter the facts of life as she understands them: always suckle at the gay teat, Lourdes, it won't ever let you down.

All kidding aside, my personal bet is that Lourdes will probably end up having particularly healthy attitudes about homosexuality. In that respect, Madonna's bound to be a pretty good mother. Good for them.
