We all know she wasn't facing homophobia but just general bullying. She wasn't trying to own their experiences but to relate to a similar experience she had. It's called empathy. Poor Madead.

No, it is called grandstanding and making it about her. It would be more honorable if her bullying tall tales were believable and if she only mentioned it once or twice, but she damn near made it her salvo to keep talking about the outcasts and misfits and how she has been there. It reminds me of the white liberals (who are the biggest racists and do not know it) who throw a helping hand to black people and other POC under the guise of empathy. Making gay victimhood your rally call is trés condescending. Gaga tried to be the great gay hope
