Something about Gaga's dancers

[evgenigerm2 4,056]

I remember during the Monster Ball, I believe, Gaga proudly said that all of her dancers are gay. That was so iconic and was such an act against homophobia - some people won't hire you, because you're gay, well Gaga won't because you're straight. I don't think all of her dancers are gay now (definitely not) since many new ones joined, but it's a cute memory and it's nice that some old ones are still there and proud. 

Yes, it's a random thought, but just wanted to share that with you as I recently thought of this.

I think Michael Silas was actually bisexual, so her statement back then wasn't "correct". People used gay a lot more broadly for the entire LGBT+ umbrella.

isn't that a little reverse racistian expedition tho?

The "she won't hire you because you're straight" is not correct tho, don't put these words in her mouth

That is not ok

This thread smells full of straight people getting butthurt and thinking 'bout "straightphobia" or some ****. First of all, you're not getting killed for being who the **** you are. So, stay pressed

I'm bi, and shitting on straight people just because they are straight doesn't make you better than homophobes

I am gay and I find the whole "Gaga won't hire you because you're straight" problematic and stupid.

There's straight people on GGD?

It's a beautiful notion, but I doubt they were ALL gay. Probably a majority, but all of them? A reach.

I think David is straight (or it was said so during the BTWB)

It's just a random thought of mine and I nowhere state she said it.

But you stated it as a fact tho, "some people won't hire you, because you're gay, well Gaga won't because you're straight."

Because I loved her concept of having LGBT dancers only creating a small community - like some employers won't hire gay people, Gaga preferred to (or acidentally happened to) have gay people on her team.
