Yay, first blog of 2011! Been busy with classes and making sure I graduate this may ^-^
It seems that there’s been some controversy concerning Lady Gaga’s newest song, Born This Way, even enough to spur angry editorials by arrogant writers who take themselves way too seriously. People, including gay people, are forgetting the fun and colorful side of music and would place upon society an artificial mechanism for rating what is good taste and what is not, just as many have tried (and all have failed miserably) to do this with any artform.
I just want to say I love Born This Way and I continue to be one of Gaga’s little monsters. I love her unique style, she has incredible musical talent, and I think she is also perhaps an important political and social figure for the gay rights movement, as well as questioning youth. Whatever anyone has to say about her, she’s got number one on the charts. She is an incredible individual and artist, and a role model for being true to yourself. Love you Gaga! <3
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth…
No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to survive…
I’m beautiful in my way
’cause god makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way
