"Born This Way (2011): Four years before gay marriage became legal across the United States, Lady Gaga put out her most unabashed LGBTQ+ anthem. She had cultivated a queer fan base since 2008’s “Let’s Dance,” and even hinted that 2008’s “Poker Face” was about her own bisexuality, but “Born This Way” cut out the subtlety: This was a dance-pop banger about how every queer kid on Earth was born perfect. The stomping four-on-the-floor beat and triumphant hook make “Born This Way” an irresistible, adrenalizing ride, and Gaga’s snarling vocals add some high camp flair. By 2011, Pride had already become a high profile affair, but no other star had instructed their massive fan base to “just be a queen” in a No. 1 hit, nor had anyone this big in pop explicitly proclaimed that queer people were not a curse upon the Earth but a blessing. Gaga was at the peak of her powers, and she used the moment to preach the gospel of Mother Monster: The gayer you are, the closer to God.
–Sasha Geffen"

And here we go AGAIN.

"...That the hit song simultaneously laid out a musical blueprint for Lady Gaga’s unabashed LGBTQ+ anthem “Born This Way,” 22 years later, is the deliciously reductive cherry on top. "  Madonna - Express Yourself (1989)

LET'S DANCE

GMTV STRIKES AGAIN

It was very "unabashed" indeed and it was new.

So many diva were doing some discreet gay ass-kissing in gay magazines every time they had a new album coming out but were never actually taking the risk to disappoint the conservative part of their fanbase.

Gaga made it extra clear for the world and if you didn't like it then...
