Madonna, who has been a superstar for almost 40 years and an LGBTQ supporter for just as long, added that \"it's like I've been waiting my whole life for this moment!\"

The singer famously lived in New York during her early years in music.

\"Since I came to New York as a wee little girl, I have always been embraced by Queer Nation. I always felt like an outsider, but you made me feel like an insider, like a somebody ... So you must know how much I love and appreciate everyone here,\" she said.

She also gave a speech about gun control prior to her new song on that topic, \"God Control,\" and she closed with \"I Rise,\" an anthem of resistance.
