The majority of artists people follow here have had exclusive vinyls with UO. 

Gaga is guilty along with Lana, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Ariana, The Weeknd....

Then I hope they are held to the same standard, and get dragged if the mainstream media drags Gaga. :reductive:

I'm gonna get **** for this, but if Gaga refused to work with anyone who has different beliefs than her we wouldn't have much to look forward to. Coachella is allegedly owned by bigots, and somehow the backlash only landed on Gaga, not Beyonce. She's held to a different standard. So, we'd have no Coachella performance. Everyone is a hypocrite to some degree. Bey's products were made in a sweatshop and she faced little backlash, but this will most likely get picked up by the mainstream news. It's just ridiculous. Is everything you buy ethical? Do you work for a 100% ethical company? Do all of your associates hold the same values as you? Do all of your family members have the same political beliefs? 

Nooooo. But this is different. This is Bobby's work. Gaga established her career thanks to the gays, and relying on them. 

It's hard to always work with 100% environmental-lgbt-poverty-impact-aware companies, but as a public figure, to partner specifically one that goes against the people that buy your songs?? 

It's not like management don't at least google what's up with the enterprise rather than just take the partnership for cool style (which is also up to discussion)

Everyone has different priorities. I would honestly rather work with a vegan company that donated to LGBT hate groups than a company that was pro-LGBT, but treated animals horribly like KFC. It's all so dicey nowadays. Few companies uphold good morals, and the ones that do wouldn't be good companies to collaborate with to begin with.

Honestly, it's like you guys forget that Gaga is gonna be plastered all over the windows & stores of UO during the back to school shopping rush. There's literally "JOANNE" all over the damn store. This is gonna be good promo. (And tbh, this whole deal may be why she's been posting more about Joanne these days online.)

For some reason I always thought Urban Outfitters was a progressive company since they sell hipster-y, retro-modern fashion and items to relate to the Tumblr kids of the world. :omg:

Damn, I didn't see this coming at all. :ohno:

Well, the deal's already made, might as well make the most of it and get that promo, her and/or her management just have to learn from this.

On the flipside, Gaga is USING this company to make money and get her message out! In a way it is very clever.  Very ARTPOP.

she also performed at coachella, which isn't it like owned by someone who donates to anti lgbt foundations? and yet every white gay and their mother attended so it doesn't really matter at this point. urban outfitters as a culture has always leaned left; lots of gays shop there, lots of gays work there. if no one did, that'd be a different story. peoples "outrage" is a little pious
