I'm not going to list to you every lgbt philanthropic venture the likes of Cher have committed to, do your research.

No she didn't open more doors than anyone else, stop being so dismissive of the collective effort of artists who fought for LGBT rights because it's insulting; it was a collective effort as the meta-narrative of religion and conservatism started decreasing in society.

its criminal, actually criminal, how some people here try to minimise madonna's impact and make her out to be someone she's not (while praising 00s kids who just scream their love for gays because its okay and safe now)

it's not safe now considering gaga alienated her fanbase by making born this way too lgbt focused - the fact that her single born this way is also the only no.1 single in history to have the words 'gay, lesbian, transgender' is testament.
