Madonna honored longtime pal and recently out Anderson Cooper at the 2013 GLAAD Media Awards -- but of course, it wouldn't be Madonna if she didn't get herself some media attention of her own at the same time.

Being that Lady Gaga is a huge gay icon and advocate for equality, you’d think her fans would be thrilled at another star supporting her pet cause. And they are. Except when that star is Madonna.

Amy Sciarretto — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 16:32:24 +0000

Madonna has taken a lot of heat for her use of controversial images on her global MDNA tour. She showed swastikas, which were superimposed on the head of a French politico, and handled prop guns, which were considered especially insensitive after the July massacre in Aurora, Colorado during the midnight screening of ‘The Dark Knight Rises.’

Never one to back down or shy away from criticisms levied at her door, Madge has posted a lengthy manifesto, defending her use of uncomfortable and violent imagery.
