Lady Gaga, MVT Awards and DADT

Perhaps Barack Obama needs to watch Lady Gaga in action when it comes to being a "fierce advocate" for LGBT equality. He obviously was not listening when she shouted out to him from the podium at the National Equality March nearly a year ago. Indeed, he hasn't listened to hardly anything the LGBT community has been saying, apparently preferring to be BFF with Rick Warren and other anti-gay bigots. Not only did Gaga win a record 8 Video Music Awards, but she arrived on the red carpet with four service members (see photo above) impacted by the discriminatory "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law. Her messages to U.S. Senators: repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" next week. Jim Webb, are you listening? Check out Lady Gaga's web page here with its link to the SLDN website.

Besides Obama, maybe HRC and other members of "Gay, Inc." should take a page for Gaga and stop the groveling so that they can have "access" and schmooze at cocktail parties.
