Melech 9,900 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 " Back then the musician fought for those who are different. Now she performs with her albums in country bars, where fans need to be afraid to get beaten up. The music on the album is technically great. It's obvious that it plays in really white, rough and not questionable straight America. In an America that is totally different from the colourful digital monster world. The self namend Mother monster created in the internet a global monster community and established a digital safe space where everyone who feels outside -shys, gays, transgender, obese, freaks- felt welcome. How many teenager lives did she saved with this? She goes through a tour through country bars which are not really a safe place. She is allowed to have her wished but who cares now for Monsters?" http://www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/neues-album-joanne-lady-gaga-sucht-einen-breitbeinigen-cowboy-1.3216804 they in generally praise the music but criticise the direction Gaga is going.

kupo 201 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 That's such a surface level reading of this album. This is as camp as she's ever been, and there's a queer vein running through pretty much the whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaf 2,429 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Lady Gaga has said, since the beginning of her career, that pop music promotes inclusivity, and that's why she loves it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReidOne 12,427 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 As someone who grew up in the midwest US and have been to more country bars than gay bars in my lifetime, I take slight offense at them saying country bars are "not a safe place" for gays. Yes, there are some rough ones, but most country bars are some of the most welcoming, relaxed places I've ever been to. And they have a "live and let live" mentality. Yes, you will occasionally encounter someone homophobic in a country bar. But in most cases it would only be "un safe" if you went out of your way to make other patrons uncomfortable or you acted inappropriately. Honestly, a gay person is way more likely to get punched in the face by another gay person who is drunk at a gay bar than you are at a honky tonk while enjoying a beer.

living4theFAmE 22 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 So shameful, saying that only white straight Americans can enjoy this album....WTF! the hypocracy of trying to speak on behalf of the marginalized while putting them into a box where you believe they fit is astounding.
