Lady Gaga @ National Equality March

“I’m here to protect my friends.” This is the statement that Lady Gaga made to Corey Johnson on Sunday for Towleroad.com.

“I feel that homophobia runs rampant in the music industry. Artists are allowed to speak openly in a hateful way, in a homophobic way, in a misogynistic way, and the press does not challenge them. I’m going to be taking a very strong stance against that. And I’m an artist that refuses to accept that behavior.”

Does this interview/stance change your perception of Gaga as a pop singer? At least, does it change your mind about her as a coherent speaker?

YouTuber SubmarinerAndroid says:

I dismissed Lady Gaga for months after she emerged, as just another fame-whore girl with some dance songs. But she really is operating on a higher level than most of her competition. The songs have grown on me, and so has she. She takes risks, she’s fun, she’s real, and she’s fabulous.
