Queen Latifah was spotted yachting in the south of France with the recently married couple Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, and as these photos on RadarOnline will show you, she was not alone.

Latifah (real name Dana Owens) was snapped with friend and rumored long-time partner, Jeanette Jenkins, embracing on the yacht's deck. Unconfirmed rumors regarding Queen Latifah's sexuality have followed the rapper-turned-actress for years, and some are speculating the timing might have influenced the extremely private celebrity to drop her guard just a bit. Both Latifah and Jenkins attended close friend Alicia Keys' wedding and during the same week, Proposition 8, which bans same sex marriage in the State of California, was deemed unconstitutional.

The speculation is nothing new to Queen Latifah, but maybe all of the love in the air has her ready to confirm the rumors. She owes the prying eye of the public nothing, but if she does come out, we can't think of anyone better to be an ambassador for gay marriage in California. For the time being, it looks like we'll be waiting a bit longer for both.

With all the problems in the world today and the economic crisis we are all facing, it seems that we all could much better occupy our time in trying to provide for our families and concentrate on whats important in our lives and not whats going on in other peoples lives. Her sexual preference is none of our business as yours is not her business. In the world today, if one can find happiness and companionship, god bless them because it isnt that easy to achieve. I wish her the best in all her endouvers.

No definitely without a doubt, this spells out lesbianism in these pictures. You definitely not going to get two women who r straight hugging like this as just friends while one of them having there hand on the others women ass. Even Queen Latifah the way she hugs this women u can see passion coming from her while she's embracing and resting her mouth on they other lady shoulder. It looks to me, that Queen Latifah and her lesbian lover decided 2 come out of the closet after all these years of speculation from the media. Well lets face it though, Queen Latfifah she isn't getting any younger and how long can she hide her personal life involving her sexuality for when your living half your life in the public eye or spotlight and there is always that possibility that when you hide your sexuality from the public for so long they will be the media or somebody that will kiss and tell and show proof to confirm your sexuality
(Remember that incident years ago with George Michael based on him hiding his sexuality from the public for so long and see what happen it got exposed not in the way that George Michael expected. She probably decided to come out after all the fuss the media keep making about her personal life and she probably realise the least that it won't affect her career the slightest as she may of thought it would over the years, because if Ricky Martin have come out of the closet and he's gained love and respect for it and it hasn't really faultered his career on broadway, Queen Latifia decided to take the same step too just to see how things will take off from there.
