Lady Gaga is not
buying the “Perfect
Illusion” being spread by most Republicanssince
Election Day, the sentiment that all will be fine for the LGBTQ community under
president-elect Donald
Trump.
As PinkNews reported,
the pop icon spoke on a London red carpet with a British TV interviewer, and vowed to
stand up, and not be silent:
“What is very
important to me is that the LGBTQ community in America knows myself as well as
everyone else who loves them are going to do everything that we can to protect
the social progress we have made over the last eight years.
“The truth is,
political progress cannot happen unless there is social progress… things cannot
work unless people like each other, unless people are kind to one another.
“I am here to
be, in any way that I can, a person that reminds us all that above anything
else is kindness.
“We need to
stay in a kind place and we need to bond during this time, and be as harmonious
as possible, and intelligent in the way we approach this.”
Asked about her
new image, she said: “I’ve done a lot in my career. I’m sure there’s many
people who would say ‘Lady Gaga’s not role model. Did you see this performance?
Did you see that performance?’
But the truth
is that when I was younger… I didn’t quite understand the amount of attention
that I had [or] the amount of people that would listen to me.
“I am older now
and I am aware of my voice in the world and I want to be as much of a role
model as I can be.”
