Lol. The only one saying dumb **** is you. fff
Gaga didn't invent anything. But she played her part in the struggle. And maybe it's a matter of semantics when the liddos use "gay rights".
Cause it's true she didn't bring together groups of people to go petition US Congress or w/e. But if we're using "gay rights" loosely to refer to the advancement of the gay movement as a whole, then Gaga played a good part considering her reach and influence at her peak.
One example being her Target deal for BTW.
Gaga spoke to the issue for the first time in this interview, telling Billboard that she wasn't comfortable with the Target partnership when it first came up as a possibility, and that she met with "the entire executive staff" at Target, along with her manager Troy Carter
"That discussion was one of the most intense conversations I've ever had in a business meeting," Gaga says. "Part of my deal with Target is that they have to start affiliating themselves with LGBT charity groups and begin to reform and make amends for the mistakes they've made in the past...our relationship is hinged upon their reform in the company to support the gay community and to redeem the mistakes they've made supporting those groups."

I may hate Gaga, but I hate self-righteous, uninformed gays even more.
