BORN THIS WAY?

I am angry, well that's putting it mildly, I'm more than angry. How dare someone tell me what sort of music to listen to, which artists to support? Just because international singing star, Lady Gaga, announced that she was going to perform in South Africa, a few nutcases have decided to try and stop her coming here "in the name of Jesus". Isn't that being a bit blasphemous? How on earth are they going to stop her? This is a serious case of bullying in my eyes, and I will make sure this gets posted on my Ant-Bullying page on Facebook. I'm sure a lot of people will agree with me when I say that fans will not be bullied into not liking Lady Gaga and then telling them she is the devil! That's hate speech, isn't it? Lady Gaga is a humanitarian as far as I know.  A staunch supporter of the LBGT movement worldwide, she and her mother started "The Born This Way Foundation" which focuses on youth empowerment and other issues like ant-bullying and mentoring. She also contibutes in the fight against HIV and Aids, by educating young women about the risks of the disease. The sales of Gaga-endorsed Viva Glam lipstick and lipgloss have raised more than $202 million to fight HIV and AIDS. And that being said, surely Lady Gaga is a christian herself; why call her the devil? I think the majority of South Africans will buy their ticket and dance the night away. Maybe because she supports gays and lesbians, these protesters want to stop her fom coming here. Well I have news for them, there are thousands of gays who will be buying tickets, I mean 52 million likes for her Facebook page says something!
