Hooray for mainstream pro-LGBTQ music! What do you think of Lady Gaga's new single?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:What I love about Lady Gaga is that she’s aggressively open-minded. Regardless of how much if it is associated with self-promotion, it’s the kind of message that is awesome to exploit commercially. When I say “aggressively open-minded” I mean that it goes beyond “I’m going to accept ideas as they come to me” but rather “this isn’t being said or done – I don’t know if I agree with it but I’m going to do it loudly and see if it works for me or in general.” That’s admirable. And the entire album has been described by her as her “anthem album.” I’m as excited as a school girl.
