Madonna, a longtime advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, celebrated the start of Pride Month earlier in June with an Instagram post thanking the "gay community that has always supported me from day one."
"In this increasingly chaotic world, we are living in. I will never stop fighting for diversity, inclusiveness and equal rights for all!!! DON'T HIDE YOUR PRIDE!" the singer wrote.
In 2019, she reflected on her support for − and from − the LGBTQ+ community during a performance.
"Since I came to New York as a wee-little girl, I have always been embraced by queer nation," she said. "I always felt like an outsider, but you made me feel like an insider, like somebody. So you must know how much I love and appreciate everyone here from the LGBTQ community."
