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:

Reactions were mixed.

First, people enjoyed Peterson's advice around coming out when you're older, in the video.


But then some wondered why "Madonna, perhaps a member of the LGBTQ community" was news to others.


Others were just excited Elvira, too, is a member of the community.


Finally, someone noted the real winner here?

Peterson's girlfriend.

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.

House Speaker Mike Johnson was criticized after he deflected to call out Democrats and downlayed the arrest of Christopher Moynihan, a January 6 rioter who was pardoned earlier this year by President Donald Trump, over his threat to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

New York State Police arrested the 34-year-old Moynihan after being alerted by the FBI that he had allegedly made threats to kill a member of Congress. According to court documents, Moynihan’s arrest followed a series of text messages in which he allegedly threatened the life of Jeffries, writing, “I will kill him for the future.”
