She is so generous and philanthropic. She never fails to use her power and fame to bring awareness to important social causes such as equality, AIDS, immigration, etc. She is changing the way we view popstars. Pretty soon every popstar will become activists and that is an amazing thing!

But I truly believe that she's exploiting the gay community. Now i'm not gay, but it's quite obvious. Thankfully, my gay friends aren't buying her ****.

You have no right to say whether or not she's exploiting the gay community, then.
Is fighting for equality exploiting? Is donating millions to LGBT-related charities exploiting? Is being openly and unapologetically supportive exploiting? Just because she has a lot of gay fans, doesn't mean she is exploiting them. She is the only and I mean only popstar who says she loves the gay community and actually proves it by putting her money where her mouth is.
The woman has been honored by several LGBT-related organizations and has been heralded as a gay icon by some of the most influential gay men and women of our time. Want to know why she is considered a gay icon and not her contemporaries? Because she cares. Instead of randomly wearing an "I support gay marriage" t-shirt, she organized a rally to help repeal an unjust law. Instead of putting two gays in her video, she had thousands of her American fans call their state reps. and ask them to repeal an unjust law. Instead of telling kids it'll get better, she paid $40,000 to attend a dinner with the President so that she could ask him to help "end" bullying.
You say she's exploiting the gays, I say you're an idiot.
She is the only popstar of this generation who is unafraid to say she loves the homos. No one else in their right mind would do that because they're busy pandering to the general public who doesn't give a rat's ass about social issues because all they want is stupid music about being raped by an alien or dancing until the world ends. **** you if you doubt her generosity. You and people like you are the reason the LGBT community is having such a hard ****ing time progressing. You don't bite the hand that feeds you and you def. don't reject someone as massive as Lady Gaga when they try to help you and the community they love and belong to.
