Why gays love Gaga

You must know she’s the top artist for gays, but maybe you wonder why. No, it’s not just her freakishness. Let me take you back to the time before her debut on the charts.
Gaga started her music career in gay clubs and was supported by the gay community. She once declared that this was the single reason she got so far.
Her first album, “The Fame”, had a cover designed by LGBT marketing team FlyLife, which specialises in the gay market. She also promised to fight for gay causes. If you were surprised to see her participating in gay parades or tweeting about gay issues in America, now you know why.
Beyond public statements, Gaga campaigned for gay rights in many other ways. She wrote “Born This Way” and it became the new gay anthem. Then she struck an exclusive deal with a giant US retail chain to sell a special edition of the single “Born This Way” in exchange for its support of an LGBT charity group (although it fell through when the chain also made a donation to an anti-gay group).
On another occasion Gaga called for a ban on bullying after one of her young fans committed suicide because he’d been bullied. Gaga even met President Obama to talk about the issue.
As well, Lady Gaga has frank relationships with many gay celebrities. She was friend of clothing designer Alexander McQueen, performing a tribute show in London after he died. She’s the godmother of Sir Elton John’s son, and she and Elton performed her “Speechless” and his “Your Song” together at the Grammy Awards.
To those who suspect that Gaga does all these things just because she wants to sell more records, I ask a simple question: Does she need to risk her career with gay affiliations just to gain more sales?
One of the more interesting stories about Gaga is that, before agreeing to put on a show with macho hip-hop star Kanye West, she told him she was gay and her show was gay, and that’s how it would be presented onstage.
Lady Gaga doesn’t continue campaigning just because of a promise she made long ago. She doesn’t enjoy good relationships with gay artists because of marketing. She does it because she’s honest about her feelings over social inequality. She uses her celebrity status to push gay issues forward. And that’s why she’s won the hearts of gays all over the world.
