Why? Didn't she say she doesn't represent the LGBTQ community but is greatfull to them for making her who she is right now or something like that.

She's said many times she's bisexual. These awards are for allies too.

Yeah but most recently she said she doesn't represent the LGBTQ. But if those awards are for allies I don' t think there is a bigger ally than Gaga. Hope she wins.

She was trying to say she can’t speak for every LGBTQ person which is only logical since the community is not one entity.

Her exact words:

“I may not, to some people, be considered a part of this community, even though I like girls sometimes. I would never degrade the fight you have endured,”

These are her exact words too. 

“I feel that it is right and true to say this: I am a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community but I do not speak for them. They do not need me to speak for them.

“I am here to cheer on radical love and a radical joy that I had the privilege of witnessing since I was a very young girl. And without the LGBTQ+ community, I would not be who I am,” the star explained.

Expanding her statement, the artist elaborated that she does not need to stand in as a spokesperson for the community, but, instead, hopes to be a figurehead that celebrates “all of humanity”.

“What I will say is, I’m not here to represent that community because they do not need me to. But I am here to always speak out about what is right and true for all of humanity. That people be loved,” Gaga elaborated. “That oppression and hatred be a thing of the past. But that requires all of us, and also to know our place.”

So if she doesn't represent us why be nominated for an award that is for representation.

I think the committee of the awards knows very well who is and isn't eligible to be nominated for their own awards.

A list of legends :applause:

I think we seen mistakes in the past like throng people nominated for hip hop or people not nominated at all because they didn't know what category to place them or even snubs. :huntyga: 

 

But you are right a list of legends.

By "I’m not here to represent that community because they do not need me to" she meant that she shouldn't be taken as a spokesperson who speaks on behalf of queer community... "They do not need me to" means: they can represent themselves, they don't need me to represent them as if if they are powerless.

She said something similar regarding Britney. Something on the line of not speaking for Britney because Britney can speak for herself.

She doesn't want to be asked any more questions about the gay community. She is not our spokesperson. Got it. 

 

I really don't want to reply to anyone else on this subject. Because I feel like I have to walk on egg shells. Honestly who cares.
