Queen Latifah On Lesbian Sex Scenes

"People feel a type of way when they see any sexuality on-screen. I think it's almost human nature. People are so fascinated by it. It shouldn’t even be a discussion. But it is, because people are still curious, and people still wonder how they feel about things. At the end of the day I don’t really care if someone feels uncomfortable about it. It is what it is, and it’s life. So you either deal with it or not. It’s just part of who she is, and I had to tell the story honestly.” - Queen Latifah on her lesbian sex scenes in the coming Bessie Smith biopic, which debuts on HBO this weekend.
