I don’t think that’s a mistake they did that intentionally 

 

It's clear that the museum (or the person who composed the hitpiece in the museum wall) had a grudge against the names mentioned (Queen, Prince, and Madge).

Um what I think they are saying is that in the early 80's none of them pop stars (Madge included) spoke openly about AIDS, it was end of the decade when she became vocal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nah, AIDS itself wasn't mainstream item for celebs to comment on in the early 80s.

 

It became one gradually as the decade continued to unfold. It was spreading already in the 1970s but completley without the knowledge of most doctors (they officially classified it and named it AIDS only in 1981, before that the working title was "Gay-Related Immune Deficiency" (GRID)). That tells you a lot aobut the limited knowledge of even experts back then. The first major celebrity news about AIDS occured in 1985 when Rock Hudson tested positive and announced it himself. Long story short, the museum signage is bullsh*t.

Madonna's career only really took off in 1985...i don't know what you wanted her to do the first half of that decade. She actually did something from the second she did her first WW tour in 1987 and she never stopped.

1988:

There's plenty more...she never stopped.

They really try to erase Madonna's legacy. I'm pretty sure it comes from an ungreatful gay man who is bitter his lame ass fave is not like Madonna. So many of those... Here in ATRL there are plenty and it is sad. They would rather lie and spread fake bullshit than accept reality and respect this amazing and most interesting historical figure artist MADONNA.

MTE.

When you make a false statement, get corrected, then whine about it… but it’s other people who need to grow up

Seriously?

Clearly written by a bitter gay that probably thinks Born This Way was more impactful

Her friend and backup dancer from early days, Erika Belle spoke out too.

That ignorant and hostile but bitter museum needs to go. 

How dare.

[readytowind]

That museum is such a joke. Is that some kind of a new standup comedy?

They tried but failed miserably

[Sergi91]

They can’t even do a spell check let alone check their sources? 

[Alongoria13]

I went to that museum last year and honestly I had so much fun but for a place dedicated to the celebration of sex and the removal of its stigma the lack of Madonna was very blatant.

Glad they fixed it.

GOOD. 

[GlamSlam]

They say they've amended their signage but "in the museum". They've removed the tweet, it hasn't been amended.
