Madonna’s gay brother, Christopher, says she ‘crossed boundaries’

”[Madonna outed me] during an interview with a gay magazine. She casually mentioned it but the only people who knew I was gay at the time were my boyfriend and immediate family. I was upset she didn’t consider my feelings – she couldn’t understand why I was upset, why I objected to her using me to get credibility with the gays…. My relationship with her was threatening to Guy. I suppose he felt insecure and wanted to push me out. It wasn’t necessary. He’s also very uncomfortable with gay people.”

Christopher Ciccone, 47, speaking out about his estranged sister, Madonna, who he has written a book about, ”Life With My Sister Madonna.” In his interview with Metro UK, he speaks about gay jokes from Guy Ritchie’s friend, her lack of gay dancers, the couple’s possible divorce, and more.
