Gaga had an entire day dedicated to her in my LGBT course

[PERFECTIONIST 2,139]

Since the other user brought up his school stuff I forgot to mention how in my LGBT studies course at my university

last Tuesday we had a class dedicated to "BORN THIS WAY"  the phrase not necessarily the song

but we mainly focused and compares

SAME LOVE VS BORN THIS WAY

and if in fact we are "born this way".. it wasn't in the sense that something went wrong with us.. more of in the way that are we just born and are automatically sexualized in a sense

it was a very touchy subject since most of us in the class are in the LGBT community

 

we all came to the conclusion that the term BTW is a very broad thing, for everyone has their own story of why they say that etc.

 

anyways when we spoke about BTW a lot of people were getting mad because they said gaga wasn't gay and she was appropriating gay culture just like Macklemore or how every you spell his name

and some of us spoke out how she says she's bisexual and even if she wasn't it was nice to have allies or people who write songs like this for us

 

I did shade Mack tho

the professor asked me what my thoughts as a homosexual man were for the song and I copied the iconic whitney Houston and said "What do I think of the song? I don't think of the song"

and only 2 people caught on lol

Funny that you mention this, as I kind of had the reverse (warholian) experience. In a Gender- / Queer Studies class I took the whole concept (not the song) "Born this Way" was criticized, as it (1) shows sexuality as something stable rather than ~fluid and (2) it emphasizes that something is just accepted when it is something that one does not choose but is born with/as ( - the aim to make something "natural" and therefore "supporting" the really problematic concept of some things being "natural" was criticized anyway).

Other than that I took a "Queer Camp" class and it was discussed whether the term "camp" (as described by Susan Sontag and others) would fit for Gaga's music/fashion/art. (In my opinion - yes!)

I thought the title ended with "promo".

that class sounds relatively interesting
