NewUsername 11,020 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Ever since the beginning of her career, Gaga has made it a priority to make the world a better place. Let's take a look at what causes she has already supported and how she's been using her platform to the fullest to raise awareness. 1. Through her music Born This Way was the first mainstream song to explicitly mention transgender people and advocates unapologetically for equality and LGBTQ+ rights. God makes no mistakes / I'm on the right track, baby / I was born this way. Furthermore, it talks about race and ethnicity: No matter black, white or beige / Chola or orient made. Born This Way Country Road Version: Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network Americano discusses the overturning of California's Proposition 8 and criticizes Arizona's immigration law: We fell in love, but not in court. If you love me we can marry on the west coast / On a Wednesday, en un verano en agosto. Along with Diane Warren, Gaga penned the powerful ballad Til It Happens To You for the documentaryThe Hunting Ground, a confronting PSA about sexual assault on college campuses. Angel Down was inspired by the tragic dead of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin. 2. Born This Way Foundation After its creation in 2012, the Born This Way Foundation has launched plenty of projects and teamed up with several other organizations and companies: Spoiler Born Brave Bus Tour Office Depot: Be Brave Body Revolution Starbucks Cups Of Kindness Staples Inc.

Ronk 14,503 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 A few others. Many things Gaga does are not reported to the media or go unnoticed: Gaga helping repair a house in Houston that was damaged by hurricane Harvey in December 2017. Gaga at Red Cross shelter on November 11, 2018. She brought food, gifts, and provided emotional support to the people evacuated to the shelter. Gaga at another shelter on November 13, 2018: Gaga visiting an orphanage in India: Born Brave Bus which traveled to concert venues to provide support for people: I live outside the space time continuum.
