Queen Latifah and Jeannette Jenkins Will Marry, Adopt Child

Call her a size married!  Queen Latifah is rumored to be preparing to wed longtime partner and trainer Jeannette Jenkins.  According to the National Enquirer the two are set to tie the knot under California's new gay marriage law.  Reports also say that the two are planning to adopt a child immediately after their marriage, which is said to be planned for July.

Current Jenny Craig spokesperson Queen Latifah lives with her partner in New Jersey and Los Angeles, but has never publicly acknowledged that she is gay or that her and Jenkins are a couple.  When asked about her sexual preference in an interview with Ebony magazine in 2007 she replied,  “No comment on that at all. I’m done commenting on all that … It’s ridiculous”.

Congratulations to the Queen and her queen!  And best of luck on their soon-to-be-arriving prince or princess.

I love your posts but have to correct this one that keeps showing up: "her and Jenkins are a couple" -- it should be "she and Jenkins are a couple."  And as long as I'm being a tool -- nobody says "sexual preference" anymore. I'm sure lots of gay/lesbian/bi folk out there would "prefer" not to be viewed with the animosity that still exists. It's not a choice or a preference anymore than heterosexuality is a choice.

Dear Grammar Police,

Nice to know that someone is reading my posts and going through the painstaking trouble of keeping track of all my grammatical errors.

Cuz God knows if someone's grammars needs some police-itizing its me.  

Grammar faux pas aside, her and Jenkins are still a fine couple.

I am very proud of you Dana, you of all people need some happiness in your life.  You have been a rock for so many people for so many years, that now I salute you and say right on.  I hope you do adopt because I think you will be a terrific mother, just as your own mother was to you when you were growing up.  The only thing I would request of you is that you have a prenuptial drawn up you need protection and also, if you are fortunate to adopt I also, would suggest that you make it very clear as to how you would want him/her raised.  Keep in mind, that these are things you need to take into consideration now before you and Jeanette say your vows.  

Be happy enjoy life

What is wrong with you people. You act as if this world-wide sin is ok and you send the wrong message out to children.  It's not Adam and Steve or Eve and Evette.  Man should be with woman and woman with man.  Not man with man and woman with woman or woman with both sexes.  That's part of how STD's are contracted.  And for you all to be ok with it means that you too condone this jacked up philosophy of it doesn't matter who  or what sex you fall in love with, just as long as you find love.........a lie!
