Madonna notoriously (and understandably) has one of the largest, most unwieldy egos in the entertainment business, and I do not necessarily bemoan her for it. She transformed pop several times over, and inspired those who continue to do so, but—as one of the most famous people in the world—lacks a certain sense of…

Here’s a really sweet story in which the dirtbag turns out to be repressive heteronormative social mores.
