Lady Gaga Again Proves She's a Powerful Ally


In A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, the 90-minute special that aired last night on ABC, Lady Gaga once again demonstrated that she's a powerful ally to the LGBT community with her anti-bullying remarks and her self-affirming message to youths. She also showed that she's far more complex than the often crazy caricature that she sometimes comes across to be.

Yes, I am sure she will have her detractors, but I respect her willingness to use her celebrity to send out a message be it on ending bullying or in the past on the repeal of DADT. Perhaps I'm biased having watched her from 20 feet away at the National Equality March, but her activism is most refreshing compared to the mindless conduct of supposed celebrities that seem to exist only to promote themselves. Kim Kardashian, are you listening?
