Madonna has revealed how she explained her infamous kiss with Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards to her daughter, Lourdes.

Ananova.com reports that Madonna told gay magazine Out how her nine-year-old became "obsessed" with gay issues after the MTV stunt and asked her: "Mom, you know that they say you are gay?"

She then said she explained her stage snog to Lourdes by saying that it wasn't sexual at all, telling her: "I am the mommy pop star and she is the baby pop star. I am kissing her to pass my energy on to her."
