Madonna: 'I wouldn't have a career if it weren't for the Gay community'


In response to the abundance of recent gay teen suicides that have been linked to bullying, many celebrities have taken the initiative to make their voices heard. Madonna joined the pack on Nov. 9, 2010, when she appears on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" with a special message."I wouldn't have a career if it weren't for the gay community," says Madonna, via a satellite interview with Ellen. "I feel like it would be incredibly remiss of me to not say something."In her "Ellen" interview aired on Nov. 9, 2010, Madonna reveals her own personal struggles as a teen, and discloses that she, too, felt alienated in high school."There was no group that I felt apart of -- I just felt like a weirdo," the singer admits. She also attributes the support of her homosexual ballet teacher to making her feel more comfortable in her own skin as a teen."Everyone should have someone in their life that they can feel encouragement from," Madonna adds.In response to the rash of gay teen suicides in the news this year, artists from all over the musical spectrum have taken a stand against homosexual bullying. Most have been offering their words of encouragement through the "It Gets Better," a project designed specifically to console struggling LGBT teens.

Nothing like whacking them bullies! I was a military brat. Moved to many places, as a kid. Everyplace had a bully! I put up with it for a bit, then one day.... Smash! Then, wahh! I made them wish they were never alive, for the rest of my stay, at where ever! Then it would start again, the next place, and I would put up with it for a bit, then you know what... I loved the shock and surprise in their eyes, when they took a nice crushing hit!

and so what? The average estimates were that 21% of men are gay and 22% of women are lesbians. In fact, roughly a quarter of the public thinks more than 25% of men and 25% of women are homosexual.
