Lady Gaga held a rally in Portland, Maine to bring more media attention and awareness, and to put pressure on Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, to vote tomorrow to put an end to Don't Ask, Don't Tell. More than 2000 attended and protested alongside Miss. Gaga, to rally against a law that hopefully in the near future, rather than later, people will look back and think how barbaric a law it was! How could such a powerful, educated nation have been SO STUPID!? How was this still a debate in 2010? I'd like to think that Don't Ask, Don't Tell is fundamentally opposite to what the true "American Way" is - but I guess we, the rest of the world, are seeing and laying witness to what the true "American Way" really is. Hopefully they prove us wrong soon. While the rest of the world shakes their head at The United States and says "that's just America", and begin losing faith (if they have not already), there's still many who hope and have faith that America will FINALLY do the right thing and be a true leading nation in the world and not only talk the talk regarding equality for all (as their constitution says), but they will soon walk the walk as well. I have faith, but I have great disappointment that it's taken them this long to realize that this thinking, is really no different that than thinking and beliefs of many of the nations they war with. Grow up, and own up America!
Now here's Lady Gaga's speech that she gave....

it's interesting that she's diving into politics now. it can be dangerous to a career if she doesn't know what she's doing. (sinead o'conner)...
ReplyDeletebut on a personal note I think it's great that she is finding yet another to rise above all the other bubblegum pop crap, both with her music and her image.
