Madonna says she had some explaining to do when
her daughter, Lourdes, asked about that kiss with Britney at the 2003 MTV
Video Music Awards.
"(Lourdes) is really obsessed with who is
gay ," says Madonna in an
interview in Out magazine's April issue. "And she even asked, 'Mom, you
know they say that you are gay?' And I'm, 'Oh, do they? Why?' And she
says, 'Because you kissed Britney Spears.'"
"And I said, 'No, it just means I kissed Britney Spears. I am the mommy
pop star and she is the baby pop star. And I am kissing her to pass my
energy on to her."
Madonna, 47, famously locked lips with Spears, 24, while performing her
songs "Like a Virgin" and "Hollywood" at the awards ceremony.
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.'"
Madonna also addresses her feud with Elton John, who in 2004 accused
her of lip-synching.
"He seems to be angry," she says. "I seem to have become a target. It's
not very gentlemanly or gracious. But he did send me a letter apologizing
for his last outburst, right before his wedding."
