Queen Latifah Reveals Her Toughest Career Move Was Playing Gay 'Set It Off' Character
Queen Latifah on one of her toughest career decisions:
“When I got the role of amateur bank robber Cleo Sims in Set It Off, I sat down with my younger siblings and told them, ‘Listen, I’m playing a gay character. Your classmates might tease you or say negative things about it. But I’m doing it because I believe I can bring positive attention to the gay African-American community, and I believe that I can do a great job as an actor.’”

Lol.
That movie is legend.
iconic role
What she said doesn't mean that she is denying her being a lesbian. Everyone knows she is, so really no need to say it
Lmao the way i just fell to the floor in this casino
i think she told them because playing dykes and fags in the 90s was like :ermm:
it wouldnt have mattered if she was closeted or out to her family at the time -- the public wouldve had their opinion

dddddddddf
Love her
Not them thinking she's finally gonna come out
only for her to say "I'm playing the Role of a dyke, in this film ok. I hope you can come to terms guys...I'm still me tho..."
:wheresmylawyer:
:usuresis:
I honestly don't think she cares if ppl know tho. I love how she handles it.
She slayed that role so much that her sexuality was secondary... or even further down the line in terms of the story.
