I don't even know why people look at the comment section of anything. It's literally all filled with negative and spiteful stuff. 

 

It's not indicative of what the reality of the situation is.

Gaga always has been political. This is part of her legacy to be able to target social and political issues since she has the influence to make a difference. I am glad that she raises her voice and I can't at these people who try to shut her down!

these comments are very common whenever someone, especially a celebrity or artist, posts something about politics

Literally, who cares?

When an artist becomes a prisoner to the system of popularity and political neutrality, an artist loses their very being; they lose their purpose and they lose the voice their music has given them. 

True artists like Gaga are not mouthpieces or puppets of the industry. They are passionate human beings that have a perspective on the world that is unique and wide-reaching. And they want to express that view through their platforms... as they should. Just look at how much Gaga has achieved politically through doing exactly that. 

Lady Gaga will never be silenced. She would rather have no popularity than no voice. 

 

I love the way you have put this idea in those words :flutter:

Don't give them a platform. They aren't worth anyone's time, they clearly don't know that Gaga was heavily for the Don't Ask Don't Tell campaign

This comment seems to be among the most reasonable in there (not that I completely agree with it or anything): 

This isn't about feeling and feel goods... this is about operational ability to serve. I'm for LGBT rights in any capacity as long as it isn't negatively affecting operational readiness and ability- which this is for people who haven't completed reassignment surgery prior to joining. Someone else posted this but sums up the situation succinctly:

My unit was just briefed on the current regulations for transgender soldiers. The rules for bathrooms and barracks for a person transitioning do no create a clear solution or accommodation. (That last word is key, I'll get to that in a moment). As it stands now, a person with male genitalia, but full breasts, and dresses like a female, would stay in male barracks, and shower in male open bay showers. As in an open room with multiple shower heads on the wall

As for what gender a trans soldier is graded as on the army physical fitness test, they are to be graded as their original gender until a doctor signs off that they have completed their transition. This means that a male soldier could be taking hormone suppressors to become female, but while in transition begin failing the PT test as a male because of said hormones. And this could carry on for over year. There is no accommodation for this. The soldier would be counseled and do remedial PT for failing to meet the minimum standards.

Back to that word accommodation. The military is and has to be a highly mobile force, who's soldiers can live and operate in remote locations, with minimal creature comforts. A tent with 14 cots, port-a-pottys, shower trailers with no privacy. It cannot afford to accommodate special needs. If you have asthma, you can't serve. There's nothing bad about you. You just have a special need. And the same thing goes for someone who's transgender, and especially someone who is transitioning. Serving in the military is not a right. Is only for those who are the most able-bodied, and can pull their own weight without help. Needing special showers and living accommodations is an impediment to operational needs.

The "another celebrity who should stay out of politics" argument is so invalid when the president of the USA is literally another celebrity who should stay out of politics
