Well at least someone isn't surprised about Madonna's recent Tiktok where the singer may or may not have come out.
When Elvira—the persona created by actor and comedian Cassandra Peterson—heard about it, she had an additional juicy tidbit to add.
She said she wasn't surprised to hear Madonna might have come out. Peterson added the singer hit on Peterson's girlfriend in the past, trying to hire her as a trainer with an implied something more.
You can see her comments to TMZ here:
\u201cCassandra Peterson (AKA Elvira) is not at all surprised by Madonna seemingly coming out as gay, saying the pop star hit on her girlfriend in the past! https://t.co/Q9wxHijDnr\u201d— TMZ (@TMZ) 1665592055
Reactions were mixed.
First, people enjoyed Peterson's advice around coming out when you're older, in the video.
\u201cThe part at the end about her advice to people coming out later in life is important and moving!\u201d— dykey spice (@dykey spice) 1665874863
\u201c@TMZ @davidaniston Great advice to come out when it's comfortable now when pressured.\u201d— TMZ (@TMZ) 1665592055
But then some wondered why "Madonna, perhaps a member of the LGBTQ community" was news to others.
\u201c@TMZ Did she not give us hints and clues of being apart of the family this whole time?\u201d— TMZ (@TMZ) 1665592055
\u201c@TMZ Why is it a big deal? Madonna is 70 years old and she\u2019s hinted at it before. Nobody cares. The 20 year old she dating was a beard.\u201d— TMZ (@TMZ) 1665592055
Others were just excited Elvira, too, is a member of the community.
\u201cMadonna. Elvira. Velma. All out and proud. The world owes so much to the queers.\u201d— scary kay \ud83e\udd87 (@scary kay \ud83e\udd87) 1665434996

\u201cliterally my wildest dreams are coming true. Elvira and Madonna both coming out\u2026 I\u2019m not saying someone\u2019s next but\u2026. Cher\ud83d\udc40 wya\u201d— a rich man named mark (@a rich man named mark) 1665433231
\u201cName something wilder than Madonna hitting on Elvira's girlfriend. Oh wait, you can't.\u201d— Kristin (@Kristin) 1665691293
Finally, someone noted the real winner here?
Peterson's girlfriend.
\u201cElvira\u2019s gf was winning for being with Elvira first and then getting hit on by Madonna\u201d— hex machine (@hex machine) 1665680501
The community does keep on growing.
Times have changed and people are more confident in their ability to come out and have their sexuality not affect their career.
