JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Did Gaga's song Born This Way have an impact on how all American's view gay orientation? Born This Way (song) hit the radio about January 2011 and was released for sale officially on Feb 11th, 2011. Lady Gaga performed Born This Way on TV's highest viewed events in 2011. The Grammys was her first performance. It was viewed by over 26.6 million Americans and she even finished the year on New Years Rockin Eve with Dick Clark. Now look at the chart below. The year 2011 was the year that most Amercan's started believing homos-xuality was innate and not a cause of the environment. What's your opinion?

Alii 2,039 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Of course it has made a big impact on improving LGBT's image. She was so huge back then that everyone was interested on what she had to offer after TFM. She chose to help the LGBT community instead of milking her success. I respect her so much for this.

Jjang 2,262 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think its completely ignorant to give her full credit for that chart, but i also think its discrediting to not give her credit at all. Considering your poll provides nothing but black and white answers, i won't vote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 We could say that since Lady Gaga got involved in LGBT rights activism, many people followed her braveness and also started supporting gay rights. So yeah, I believe Gaga played a big part on the success of promoting gay rights. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body."

Robotboy 1,700 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 i guess it opened some peoples minds. but more importantly it made alot of teenagers accept themselves, i think. Remember that you are unique. Like everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bromance 5,809 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 i guess it opened some peoples minds. but more importantly it made alot of teenagers accept themselves, i think.Yeah, I totally agree with this. Many more young kids seem to be embracing their s-xual identity a bit better than before. Not sure if Gaga could be credited for all this but she certainly helped the cause. I don't care what you think about unless it is about me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 This is a reach and the poll actually doesn't support your conclusion if you look close enough at the graph but I will at least say that "Born This Way" has had impact more significant than just some people realizing that "gays are born gay!" (Though good on them and im sure some did ) It helped people to accept themselves, and for people to accept them as well (Though even more tea, the whole "Don't hate my I was born this way" rhetoric is quite problematic because it really shouldn't matter if being gay is a choice or not, its a matter of actual acceptance, not "wel, we cant be justified in killing hating and persecuting gays if they can't control being gay, thats IMMORAL" <--- thats the narrative a lot of people are living with actually, which doesn't recognize other s-xual orientations as valid and effectively "others" them, still implying their "unnaturalness" ( ) and inherently badness because of said unnaturalness But the slogan is catchy and its effective sometimes so ) 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question was did the song create an impact on America's view of Innate vs Enviormental? That's all.

Tolemo 122 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Correlation does not equal causation. Did she help the movement or was she capable of releasing the song because the culture was already shifting under her? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
