Madonna spoke up for gypsies during a concert in Romania, leading thousands of audience members to boo her, the AP reports. “I found out that there is a lot of discrimination against gypsies in Eastern Europe and that makes me very sad,” the Romanian Times quotes her as saying.
“We believe in acceptance, gypsies, homosexuals, people that are different,” continued the singer, who featured gypsy musicians and a dancer in her show. “Everyone must be treated the same, don't forget that.” Madonna didn't react to the boos from the crowd.
