Madonna kissed Drake during their performance at this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

The racy pop queen is in the news again today after a photo she posted on Instagram.

Over the weekend, Madonna posted a controversial photo to her Instagram page – two men, a Muslim and a Jew, just before embracing in a kiss.

The photo was hashtagged “#rebelhearts,” to drum up support for her current album, released earlier this year.

The gay community is embracing the photo and relating it to their own relationship experience. One commenter said: “I see two men one Muslim perhaps and one Jewish together sharing a moment of peace. Can’t we just all get along without discussing religious beliefs?”

This image is 100. #rebelhearts
