While promoting her latest album 4th Street Feeling Melissa Etheridge stopped by Chelsea Lately and joked that she’s not really a lesbian – she just said so to sell more albums. Host Chelsea Handler greeted the multi-Grammy winner by saying, “You’re one of the first lesbians ever to exist on earth,” referring to Etheridge’s watershed coming out in the early ‘90s.
